The original analogy was not about selling food:

> If I give away food I have a duty not to poison you. It doesn’t matter you didn’t pay for it.

If I invite you to eat at my house, there is no health inspector and no government. I'm just giving you free food. Would you agree that I have a duty not to poison you in that case?

True, yes, I agree.

If we aren’t making the business analogy though, then Neovim has even less obligation to produce a professional quality product. When you come to my cookout the expectations are different than when you go to a restaurant.
