Charming outlook. I can't imagine that mental model leads to any frustration except it seems when you are compelled to offer your hard earned course correcting unsolicited advice (and without compensation no less). Here's some advice too - if you want to be edgy don't point it at someone actually out in the arena closing off with the same self-respect and craftsmenship they more than likely took into it thinking it was something that needed doing. Honestly your statements remind me of this "Jigar Kumar" character in the xz fiasco [1] which is a perfect case study of the thankless expectations involved with maintaining an open source project that probably also started out of the sheer belief that it was a useful idea that needed doing. It's people like them who built the web and not just to click farm for attention measurements if you can believe that. Without the long tail of value those people still contribute free of charge to the world there would be a lot less product market fit for people like you to chase after.
