I agree with this in very large part, although I want to be careful not to read it as dropping the responsibility on individual developers.
It’s perfectly fair to say, “I made something that might help people, so I’m sharing it, but I don’t have the capacity to support everyone who depends on it.” It’s also fair to say, “This thing would really help me, but I don’t have the capacity/ability to take on responsibility for its maintenance just so I can use it.”
No •individual• is in the wrong there. It’s a sign of broken systems and broken society that in such situations we so often cannot muster the collective capacity to support that kind of commons — the kind that exceeds the capacity of any individual maintainer — for the good of all of us.

Now having sounded that note of caution not to tether generous individuals to the growing weight of what they offered as a gift, not to turn systemic rot into individual shame…
…then yes, I completely agree with the sentiment here: if you are trying to help people, you need to actually pay attention to, understand, and prioritize •their• needs. “Here, I am helping you, let me mess everything up for you” is not actually a form of helping.
