I appreciate him very much, OSS maintainers and devs dont get enough praise. Also I dont get the intense entitlement some people have towards unpaid OSS devs and mainatiners, they think that they somehow deserve a product equal to that of a corporate offering while not offering any money or code.

It's because they haven't thought about it.

They're so used to the paradigm. I pay money. I get product. I get support.

So when they get the product but they don't pay money, their brain short circuits and thinks they deserve some kind of support.

In a capitalistic world, communistic projects are confusing. Which is sad.
