You have to think twice if you really want to cater to these 'legitimate users' then. In Steam's review section you can find people give negative reviews just because the game uses Unity or Unreal. Should devs cater to them and develop their in-house engine?

maybe? devs should weigh the feedback and decide what they think will best serve the project. open source is, especially, always in conversation with the community of both users and developers.

Not necessarily. sqlite doesn't take outside contributions, and seems to not care too much about external opinion (at least, along certain dimensions). sqlite is also coincidentally a great piece of software.
