Sometimes I make a project just to learn something new. Sometimes I make a project just to prove that some crazy idea I had could actually work. Sometimes I make a project in order to reinvent old stuff in a new way that makes more sense to me.

Completely agree. I have no idea why people are being shamed for walking away from projects. They aren't paying us, there's no incentive to offset the boring work. There is absolutely no obligation to finish anything. People who don't like that are more than welcome to do it themselves or pay for it.

If people want to spend time finishing and polishing a project, that is absolutely fine. However, it must happen because they wanted to do it, not because they were shamed for not doing it. Nobody has the right to tell people what to do with their valuable time.
