Actualy, it’s the maintainer’s responsibility to make their code serve their own interests. Those often, but not always, align with the users’ interests.

Then why open source at all if there is not some interest in helping others who have "aligned interests"?

So that others can pick the pieces they need, if they care to. It's an offer to the world, not a sales pitch.

If you post random code on the internet at your leisure, sure. When you have a marketing campaign for your open source tool... then yea, it's a sales pitch.
