I think that shows what the target audience is. I think most people wouldn’t know what to do with that prompt, other than immediately discard it.

That's a fair complaint, and I'm definitely biased since I'm technically oriented. That said, discarding it is totally fine as long as people who want it at least get the option; and if even showing it is too confusing to users, it's a lot better to have a "developer" toggle in settings that enables all this stuff, rather than not having it at all.

Haiku's certainly not crazy accessible right now, but it has some ideas that I think other OSs should take note of.
