You know? This is the typical open source developers ego and various fundamentalisms and stubbornness. They (you) still don't understand how the market works. It is not related to collaboration, or friendliness, or happyness, it is related to things that work or not work, ease of use and ease of configuration. Mrs Mary or John Doe do not want to open ebook folder, edit whatever.lua with special non-windows lines endings (when there is an important chance that he will have Windows and not Linux, sorry GNU/Linux), she wants it worked.

The program is developed by volunteers, the documentation is written by volunteers, the help is driven by volunteers. The primary target of the program are embedded devices running linux where some knowledge is needed because these devices are not expected to run 3rd party software.
The whole project is open and grows because new people join and do things. Ms and Mr Doe are not the primary target for this software. The primary target was and still is people that want to tune their software.
I think nobody that developed/helped/translated/debugged/reported things for the project thought about the market for a single second.
Again, be my guest and don't use the software. You seem to hate open source with passion so this is the right thing for you.
If things work for somebody is because somebody else had that thing documented/reported/fixed on the first place. Because you're not interested in any of these things then please go to the market, buy there and have fun.
All the other people is welcome to report bugs on the bug tracker. If the bug is android specific then we need logs.
