Sure, the restaurant will change. But suppose the cooks are volunteers. You need them to make anything usable out of the food that was bought from the wholesaler.

What if, like Pine64, the restaurant only supports, communicates and negotiates with a few volunteers who serve the dish but not prepare it. All while not supporting, communicating and negotiating with the cooks in the kitchen. And now the cooks in the kitchen run away, what is there left to serve? Only ready made dishes, but no new dishes. And what will happen to the restaurant?

The Pine64 community makes the software. Manjaro only serves it to the enduser but doesn't help building it. Current devices are somewhat supported, new devices have big question marks hanging above them.

Volunteer kitchens also close all the time. But a lot of times an appropriate response is to start your own volunteer kitchen and try to sustain it better long term rather than yelling at founders of the failing one who may simply not have time or resources. Especially if they gave you a lot of free recipes so that you don't have to figure everything out from scratch.
