Deciding who is and who isn't part of the community sounds like anti-communal gatekeeping behavior -- and explicitly against the values of open source, no discrimination against persons or groups is a big deal for openness.
Imagine someone in the early days had been able to manufacture whole machines from scratch at decent prices. That would have probably been desirable, lots of people would have bought them.
You can be bitter about person putting a lot of effort into X not getting (enough) monetary compensation, but this line of thinking is in direct conflict with the communal "open source hardware" thinking.
