This is sarcasm but there is a lot of truth in it unfortunately.

I'm sure there must be a term for this... known incompetence > unknown incompetence.

Doing your own research on complicated products is hard, that's why we as a community seem to move on to things via trial and error.

Considering that the developer is saying "not for production" but the users are saying it works great in production, I'd say the comparison should be "unknown competence > unknown incompetence"
Isn’t that a variant of Dunning-Kruger?
