Yes and no.
Sure, countermeasures exist, but the issue is that you first need to be aware of what exactly the problem is before you can take these countermeasures.
The reality however is that people just hear "You should do GitHub" and then for some inexplicable reason slowly descend into feeling bad without any clear reason why. After all, they're following all the "best practices" laid out by people that clearly know what they're doing and surely have their best interest in mind.
I think you’ve just argued that devs have a lack of knowledge and just do what other people do with very little agency of their own, despite all the controls being available to them to them to solve problems. I agree with you. Devs need to be stronger willed and have more self respect. You can’t wait for rando users to stop being a-holes.
