Oh you’re right, you were just piggybacking on another commenter who said this:
An analogy, which is not 100% accurate, which I used to explain it to other people is, "it is not very different from a carpenter telling you, ‘the wood is here, the tools also, you can do it yourself it you didn’t like what I did’.
By saying this:
People are concerned. “My cousin fell through a trap door on the bridge yesterday!” But the carpenter is clear: “Go build your own bridge, then.”

That totally doesn’t add up to complaining about the quality of the open source software! Nope, you definitely have plausible deniability there, because subtext isn’t real! Duh, what was I thinking? /s
Show me.
What? Do you not know what the expression means?
The guy maintains it for free. It’s a gift horse. You’re complaining about the quality. That’s looking the horse in the mouth.
If you don’t want this horse, find a different one or breed your own.
Show me.

I can’t afford a horse! I was supposed to ride for free! Where am I gonna get a stable?!
That sucks, but open-source devs don’t have to pay for your hardware. A free horse doesn’t come with a free barn.
And if you don’t like the horse they’re offering you for free, you can either find a different horse or walk on your own two feet.
