It shouldn't, but it amazes me that developers will do this to other developers.
I was talking generally about JavaScript and another dev who likes to surf the web without JS enabled (more power to him) mentioned how in a given case there's no reason to use JS. I mentioned a side project that I felt kinda fit that use case (in a way). This is an entirely a casual project that has no intent to do much other than explore something myself and uses JavaScript, if folks like it, that's cool, it's free.
I got litany of reasons that person would NEVER use my product that sounded a lot like an angry customer rant.

I suspect your misunderstanding there is some misplaced assumption that "developers" are some sort of tribe who respect and look out for each other.
It's easy to exist in a small "developer tribe" bubble where that's true, but there's a universe full of "unpassionate devs" just scrabbling to get project managers or bosses off their backs, and who'll cut-n-paste from StackOverflow answers and harass open source maintainers just to get their next Jira ticket completed before whatever arbitrary time estimate/deadline has been imposed on them.
I think it is more that I would hope that folks who have an unfair or just not fun thing happen to them, wouldn't do the exact same thing to others in almost identical situation.
Granted years ago I once worked at a call center and a coworker, just after complaining that they just got yelled at by customer for something they didn't do and couldn't change, placed a personal call to a local pizza place, and did the same thing to them.

Entirely free service, and I got a rant for it ;)
