I'm a developer, so my chances are pretty good. But I take your point.

Even if I weren't, there's enough software options out there that I don't have to pick between paying for proprietary software and living with abandonware.

So I think the need for this security is exaggerated.

Of course. I used proprietary software for a long time. Having things I relied on get abandoned got old, but it worked.

I just expect more from most of my software, now.
