I think some commenters don't understand the challenges of reviewing code contributions as an open source maintainer. Many people already feel like they're doing you a favour by contributing any code. This is amplified if they've followed "best practices" and broken it down into many tiny functions and objects. As a maintainer, having to review and maintain code that is abstracted in the wrong way is a major headache. Trying to tell someone that their code is over-abstracted risks starting a debate on the code review and generally derailing the process.
