Like, I assign great value to the ideas behind open-source, but it's shit like this that makes me wonder whether I actually want to have
anything to do with the broader "open-source community" because it sometimes feels like nobody wants to ask themselves any questions beyond the LICENSE.md

I certainly would like to see simple changes to make things easier for people. For every dozen projects that go out of their way to be accessible though, there will be one that naysayers can point the finger at. It's possible this is some problem throughout open source itself. But it's also possible they were just looking for something bad to say about open source, that people would be afraid to criticize. You don't hate handicapped people, do you? Then why don't you support honest hardworking corporations making closed source software? They're so much more thoughtful and reliable than those open source weirdos! Nobody is going to be a decent person for free!
