That happens so often with non-corporation FOSS. Some dude makes something cool and shares it for free, and in turn they get a butload of entitled support requests of idiots who think that “customer is king” applies for stuff they didn’t pay for too, and who think that the developer owes them something for using his software.
A similar thing happened with M66B. He got so fed up that he pulled all his apps. Luckily people managed to talk him out of it, but it’s really understandable.

Because he kept getting entitled support requests for badly packaged versions of his project in some linux distros.

The entitlement is strong. But not with the person who creates an open source emulator in their spare time and gives it away for free, but for those who demand free support.
- Comment on [Help] Buying Steam Deck locally vs internationally 3 weeks ago:
Especially considering that warranty is usually region-locked. You usually can’t claim warranty from outside of the country where you bought it.
So if your friend in France has to claim warranty, they’d have to first ship it to Canada so that someone else (e.g. you) can do the warranty claim for them.

Also, warranty is usually region-locked, even if the device is not.
Buying a steam deck in Canada usually gives you warranty in Canada. So of you then use the device in France and it breaks, then you have to first ship it to some friend in Canada, so they can do a warranty claim.
