Exactly!
people act entitled as if all that you mention was trivial and that somehow FOSS devs "owe" people, but we only see those big corpos make it happen because... well, they're big corpos, burning VC money on makint it happen and making it happen in a controlled jail.
I have honestly not seen anyone acting like they are "owed" these things by FOSS developers. We just want them.
I have seen lots of people. Mostly not here, but that's because we here know better (I'd hope). Runs along with usual complaints such that they can't move from a platform with 9trillion captive users to a new budding platform, conveniently forgetting that when they began Shitter and stuff also had like 0 users yet people did move.
