Oh, screw that.
Open source has been about one thing: write software that solves your specific problem, and make it available so others can use it, and also extend it to solve their own specific problems.
That problem to solve can be technical, or simply just the joy of creation. That's it.
A part of OSS developers do it for fun, and the entitlement of their users is secondary. Another big part does OSS development because their employer pays them to do so. At 5 PM they can stop caring about their users.
The rest is just unneeded politics, which has nothing to do with OSS.
