Lmao, just because something is open source doesn't mean the devs are expecting a return. You talk about market segments, adoption rates and funding like that's the only goal someone has for sharing their project

You expect someone who put something on GitHub, for free, for everyone, worked on with their spare time because they had a passion for it to have it 100% ready to ship to production complete with an installer and a GUI? Nah, you're the elitist asshole, you should order more than one mirror.

That contradicts zero statements I have made, it is still super easy to install, doesn't cost the user a cent, and is open source

Yes it does, they have the funding and resources to pay someone to handle the easy installer and user experience, they have teams of people to handle the issues.

If money is so important to them then maybe they should choose not to be open source devs?

If you cannot adhere to the philosophy then don't complain when people call you out on it.

LMFAO it's not about the money, it's time and effort, for one or 2 people maintaining a project they shared and work on in their free time that's in short supply.

If you have your panties in such a twist over "User Experience" it's open source, make your own damn contributions. Contribute an installer then, contribute some infrastructure for a website to have your fancy download button. You talk of open source philosophy, but then instead of contributing to making a project's user experience better, you just bitch about it instead.
