I think this is more accurately vice signalling.

Not pain, but if I do anything less than strictly sensible I often feel I have an obligation not to correct it, because I should learn not to do whatever the thing was in the future. Trouble is, I never remember the thing itself. All I teach myself is it's not ok to try to do things better than I did last time. That's unhelpful. I know why I do it but my psychologist terminated service because she didn't feel she could help me anymore so I don't know how I would stop.

Wait, what?! HRT isn't even PRN! Why are people treating it like polyjuice? I have never heard of this.

I think I almost understand what you're getting at. If I do, it's uncodifiable. You can't draft an organisational system with a clause that no one is allowed to use logical fallacies to defend it.

I think it is not. Certainly most projects aren't solely personal utilities, but devs working for fun rather than profit will almost inevitably produce something skewed towards their own tastes and skills. See: the presentation of any FOSS graphical app vs a paid equivalent.

That's a pretty weak definition. "Legitimate" especially is a vacuous term, and every form of democracy ever proposed is (theoretically) "accountable".
