I think most nascent tech are buggy. It's part of growing pains. If I'm using something like that, it's mostly to encourage the people behind them by my patronage and for providing them with data from usage outside the controlled environment. I suppose its similar to why there is a community around product hunt, kickstarter etc.

I believe the "embarrassment" trope crops from the misunderstanding behind the motive.
