That's fair enough, provided that those same programmers step up to
become the Emacs maintainers, and thus share the burden to at least
some extent.  Especially those of them who consider witty sarcasm a
useful style in a discussion like this one.

The following is left as an exercise for the interested readers: take
a non-trivial piece of code that you never in your life have laid your
eyes upon, and decide what to do with a serious bug report about that
code, with or without a patch proposed by someone.  A recent case in
point: bug#66970.  Bonus points for doing this with code in a
programming language you don't command 110%, like C if you are mainly
a Lisp programmer or vice versa.
