Because casual users are exploring Github looking for new UI patterns for file manager apps?

The audience is clearly not casual users.

And why does the README have to be a pitch?

What is the first paragraph of a README if not a pitch? It's explaining to someone who just stumbled on the repo (maybe through a search) why they should take a closer look at the repo.
