For similar reason, I think the level of experience is probably different. Meaning those could be the same person and time is the important variable. After they’re used to developing, they better understand what useful feedback looks like.

This is actually how I got started with development. I learned how to use Linux just enough to set up WordPress (and SMB) on an old computer. This got me into PHP development (I'm recovered now) which turned out to be unbearable on Windows. I started running Linux in a VM for development, but my pathetic hardware couldn't really handle it, so I tried it on bare metal. I'm now running some flavor of Linux on my workstation, laptop and multiple servers and am exactly the sort of crazy person who will spend hours of their unpaid time compiling a detailed bug report with stack traces and all for even fully proprietary software.
