> In my experience, such time pressure comes from management

In my experience, open source developers are just as bad, if not worse, when it comes to their treatment of users.

[badsectoracula]

Yes, but open source developers are in their vast majority unpaid volunteers gifting their labor to other users, so these users can either accept the gift as it is or not accept and move on. They are not entitled to other people's work and time for free.

>>> such dev behavior is driven by managers

>> open source people, who don’t answer to managers, act similarly. Therefore, it seems unlikely to be due to managerial influence.

> well open source is a gift of labor, people shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth

What you say may be true, but also irrelevant to the discussion being had.

Point is: even absent management pressure developers choose not to care about users.
