I'm surprised that you take that opinion, because the fact that people
are working on these things as part of their day job makes it so that
things often move forward. In many cases, people can't afford to work
on these kinds of things from the side without really sacrificing
something.

Heck, I know that I sacrifice quite a lot of "free" time to working on
stuff like this because I can't do it as part of my job. And because
of that, my commitments are much woozier and limited, because I can't
spend dedicated cycles on everything I work on.

The fact I get anything done is more the exception than the rule. :)
