Indeed. This... like expectation that free programs should work the way somebody other than the author expects it, and particularly when it comes to opensource, which is most often made available under no promises and liabilities, seems from the side as some sort of cognitive dissonance mixed with a little too much self-centeredness.
Even though the e.egg broke s.o.'s pipeline, it should yet be celebrated. Why? Cause otherwise you get libfuse's author rage quitting over endless pressure on himself and his codebase for little fun and no profit.
Easter eggs are much less invasive and nasty compared to mid-video yt ads, which the world gladly takes alongside free content, including people who hate having their pipes tweaked with. Besides, there is enough evidence internet and the whole computing business works on workarounds and now with LLMs - on pure chance.
