You do gain from the recognition though. Your code can steer the project's future and set new standards for example. It gives you active influence, which is power, and recognition as a bonus course. That might explain why a lot of people do put up with shit.
If your goal is just to get your job done and call it a day, you probably don't care about that kind of recognition.
A lot of people seem to think that having a large "open source resume" is a large component of success in getting software jobs, but that really isn't the case.

Then i don't get what the article is about. "I don't care for what i don't want" is a passive aggressive drivel.
