I find this unnecessarily derisive. There are good reasons for a UI or README not being user-friendly, the top-most one being (imo) that it is really, really hard to get right, takes a lot of time and doesn't primarily solve the problem the project was started for.
You mean you think I'm being derisive? I think it's important to remind people that not every open source dev shares their priorities.
This whole post is filled with a really disappointing amount of entitlement and lack of self-awareness.
I think you generally can't know if someone shared their code with the intention that others may use it, but it's a reasonable assumption.
