Who’s going to put in all the time to learn to understand a repo, only to make a small change. At that point you might as well keep going.

Larger open source projects tend to fare better; especially well-documented projects with many small components. I can think of projects such as Django and Wine, both of which very often get small-to-medium contributions from drive-by devs who want to fix "that itch".
That just means many people will never start.
Yes, precisely.
