Emulation

Those other examples are not the same situation. People can be exhausted of many things and isn't really conducive to identifying the problem. Can you describe the culture in a way that doesn't boil down to a larger societal problem? The differences I do see is that there is, unlike with private software, a place here to communicate with developers directly, that there is much less of a buffer between devs and users (no company) so that they receive the direct blunt of the messages, and lack of management (devs likely wont be as skilled managing public interactions as someone whose profession it is). For this, Linux users are more savvy and more able to file issues, so it makes sense that they received many more issues.

I think this is survivorship bias due to transparency. There are endless people that quit jobs like Asahi did due to internal bureaucracy that you would never hear from, because who elses email chains are public and the product is for all people instead of a demographic?
