True, but it’s also the kind of product that’s instantly useful and itch-scratchy. Youtube-dl not working on the video you’re downloading today? Well if you’re a maintainer you can just patch it yourself. (Non-maintainers can too of course, but I imagine the maintainers have the know-how to actually fix things)
