That is misattributed malice.

Firstly language devs are some of the most pro tiny languages people out there, it's the users that ask for the kitchen sink (though not the same kitchen sink as their neighbour)

Secondly people doing something because they like it want to continue working on said thing?! What a surprise.

This is not malice

I do attribute that to malice by default, until proven otherwise.

This is my opinion, pleasant or not, this is not on a whim.
