Excellent take by me! :-) The fact that many Bitcoin Core developers are paid by someone, when that someone is NOT YOU, does not make YOU a customer that gets to demand things. You need to hire developers directly if you want to work on your behalf.

Ridiculous take by @npub1s6z7...wk4c & Shinobi. Core is well funded & will continue to be even moreso as more countries get involved with Bitcoin.

Fair pointβ€”developers aren’t obligated to cater to users who don’t pay them. But in open-source, users choose to adopt software based on its relevance to their needs. If your code drifts too far from those needs or betrays core principles, people will start looking elsewhere. That’s not entitlementβ€”it’s decentralization in action. Look at Mozilla: Firefox didn’t fall because of bad engineering, but because they abandoned the principles that built user trust. The result? Gradual loss of relevance. We’re not at that point with Bitcoin Coreβ€”but the growing number of users migrating to Bitcoin Knots should be a wake-up call, not something to dismiss. Open-source thrives when devs and users stay in syncβ€”ignore that, and alternatives will fill the gap.
Developers should be careful thinking that the only way to overpower them is to outcompete them. That’s not how the world works. If core believes that they can’t be competed with and it proves true, then β€œpowerless” people might look to other solutions. No one has to outcompete you if you are no longer there.
