You make a reasonable point that the poster didn’t imply painfulness made the Altstore not worthwhile for them personally.

It was probably one of the most popular software projects of all time even in its first version. iPod and iTunes Store were probably more popular than any project ever built by hackers. Why haven’t hackers, who care about 99% of users, ever been able to make software those users care to use? What private API stands between hackers and epiphany?
