“Has implications” is a very weak statement. Even if it is a very small effect but measurable fits that description.
“Irrelevant” is a very strong statement. It claims no effect at all. A single example does not justify the claim. You need at least some statistical evidence to support that claim.
For your last question, yes I do. I sometimes take over the abandoned project to maintain it too. Some open source users never contribute in any way, some do. I’m not sure why there’s a need to dismiss the existence of the latter kind of users. No one is claiming all users should be like that.
