I’ve said this previously, and I’ll say it again: we’re severely under-resourced. Not just XFS, the whole fsdevel community.

      It’s not, but what distros frequently top the list of “user-friendly” distros?

      Ubuntu, PopOS, Fedora, and friends.

      Maybe it’s not how it should be, but that’s currently how it is.
