Uh, projects with a reputation for breakage will stop being used at all.
Clearly you have never used the stuff.

One thing people don't seem to understand is that most programmers,
especially "open-source" programmers, have pride! They don't want to be
ridiculed for writing garbage. They want to please their uses and
respond quickly to issue reports. Many of them are even OCD about their
code.

Whether you want to admit it or not, those programmers who were most
insistent about supporting open-source eventually move on to greener
pastures, and produce quality code in proprietary form.
I call BS on that claim. Clément Lefèbvre (for one) has been putting out
Linux Mint for over 18 years now. It keeps getting better and Clément shows
no sign of "moving on."
