So someone else would work on that massive project unpaid? :)

Someone with much worse skill levels too, most likely.. And for how long would they think it's fun? Open source is like a full time job for a project like this. You have to be unemployed to do it.

I dont care what the devs believe politically. I'm grateful for their software. I dont need them to be Americans or to like the west. Because I understand they grew up in a very different society than most of us did.
