It's more than that, open source is by default a thankless job to begin with. Even if everything goes perfect now you're the unpaid maintainer of a program everyone uses and you have to beg for donations or sponsorship. So with those limited resources what would you rather do, chase down a bug that only happens on big-endian PowerPC Unix to satisfy one noisy user, or release an image/container that, if someone can run at all, contains your entire app in isolation so you can focus on features that most people are asking for?

Imagine being such a simp that you'd willingly go to a table full of the biggest selfish grifters on the planet in a situation where you're basically not allowed to do anything but meekly get whatever they want (and on top of it all Trump is only going to want a well done steak and ketchup, or maybe a McDonald's burger)

BSD isn't Linux though, a lot of these packages are entire systems that need many packages and are only supported in one main configuration. Otherwise instead of making social networking software you're catering to a hundred different environments. There's no real reason to run BSD for this stuff besides being a diehard tinkerer.

I'm having trouble verifying this, it seems like some of these things probably happened but the only one connecting them is this guy?
