I agree with you. Most my packages are around ~100 stars, and I'm met with a lot of respect and appreciation.[1][2]

My library for Correlation-IDs in Django[3] got implemented by AWX, which also was a nice experience![4]

Maybe it is the Django/FastAPI community, but "you'll get a load of entitled users" is straight up not true in my experience.
