And many FOSS developers are far from lackadaisical... They take great pride in
their work.

You can't be serious.

Try here for starters:

https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v6.x/ChangeLog-6.10.3

You, yourself, have benefited from these unsung heroes.

(And did you forget Linux is now a subsystem in Windows? It's true.)

Sidenote: 6.10.3 is out now, but I've already booted 6.11-rc1, so I'm
"beta-testing" code that beats the pants off most "gamma" code.

Ardour. A powerful audio/MIDI DAW.
OBS. Video screencasting and streaming.
Blender. 3D computer graphics and animated films.
VLC. Media player.
MPD. Daemonized music player.
GNU compilers, UNIX-like command system, and much more.
Fluxbox. Flexible lightweight window manager.
Xfce4 window manager and utilities.
Clang C/C++ compiler.
Firefox, Chromium browsers.
Kubernetes. Container originally from Google.
Apache and nginx. Web servers.

The list goes on and on.

Open source software (OSS) works the same way, with licensing that allows
users to freely access, modify, and distribute the source code without
restrictions. The open nature of the code encourages developers to write
better code, ultimately leading to higher-quality software through
community review and shared goals.

Except that you said that the developers take _pride_ in their work.
Show us evidence that they are proud of their software.

This provides no evidence whatsoever about the developer taking any sort
of pride in their work.

ESXi isn't a virtual machine application.

Are you proud of your small pecker, i.e. crude sausage?

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

All the girls, including your wife, prefer Negro meat.
