Your point would make sense if hiring designers wasn't the mainstream.

Hiring designers isn't the mainstream for people who develop a thing for free in their spare time for everyone to use.

Your point would make even more sense if you realized that not everyone cares about capitalist goals when developing software. Some people want software to work for everyone, not just those with money or means.

I also want software to work for anyone. I never said anything about capitalist goals. I pointed out that the person building calibre can still be considered an "outsider" in the art sense, since they are not part of the mainstream who hires designers. Work on your reading comprehension bud.

No, you only want software to work in a specific way that requires more resources than necessary. Just because you don't understand the outcomes of your beliefs doesn't mean others do not.

That is not at all what I said. You're making things up on your own.
