>Putting yourself in the shoes of FOSS developers, is it unreasonable that they won't cater to people who will not or cannot spend the time or effort learning those things because they themselves deem better uses of their time?
No, but they're not being paid to. Your example of the FOSS devs is closer to the position of lawyers than the EULA-writing corp. They have a rarefied skillset and they're under no obligation to help you (but you might get help if you pay them for their time spent explaining the code (legalese) or simply familiarizing you with the GUI (what the layman has to deal with in practical terms outside a courtroom).
If the FOSS devs were the EULA-holding corp, they'd need to contract with you wherein they provide their service (they explicitly don't, from what you've said) and you agree to certain limitations on what you can do with it (which I, at least, don't understand, being that I'm not a coder nor particularly technically inclined). Oh, and you pay them for that service they're not providing, which I think is also something that isn't.
It's like, a terrible fucking example, anon.
>I don't know, I usually find gatekeeping has the opposite effect on me, if there's a high bar of entry to something I find I want to put in the effort for it and then it turns out it's not much effort at all, it's simply the act of putting in the effort that's the hurdle.
I look forward to hearing about you winning Nobel prizes in a wide array of fields, and playing nine holes of golf way under par on the moon after you become an astronaut.
Also, become a Jew. They gatekeep that shit HARD.
Me, I'm gonna play some video games and drink coffee.
