A perfect analogy! Toady's baby is legally blind, is very dumb, is very slow, speaks 4 languages in different contexts but none fluently, is very ugly, and is not fun for 99% of people who play with it.
There are cures for all of these problems, but he refuses to treat or allow anyone else to treat his baby.

It's fun enough for enough people, myself included, for him to live off the project. And that's enough for him.
For now. What happens when interest slowly peters off as the current fanbase gets bored or distracted with other areas of their lives?
...then he does some user-facing stuff to lure them back and add new ones?
This project isn't some attach-rate-obsessed no-value-add startup. As long as he can pay his rent, he doesn't need to make anyone happy but himself.
