I sometimes wonder how much of a pain it really is? I've seen a few impolite complaints here and there on GitHub, but not as much as posts like this (or some comments here) imply. Am I missing something? Is it one of those loud minority things or do you fell that OSS disrespect is prevalent?
It's both a loud minority thing (that's still quite draining to be exposed to) and very unevenly distributed between projects/maintainers. E.g. projects aiming at non-/not-so-technical users often have problems with it, especially if they at the same time are in areas where regular breakage is to be expected (e.g. software to scrape/download from popular websites, 3D printing tools would be my guess for good examples). Some projects with corporate users but no corporate backing can run into the same. But at the same time for other projects it might never happen.
