But they couldn’t be further from different. You have to have a health inspector visit your kitchen just to sell food at all. You need affirmative permission from the government to sell food.

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.
What do you mean by "obligation"? Nobody is claiming they have some kind of legal obligation. Nobody is saying anything analogous to your "health department" analogy. I think you're arguing against something people by and large are not claiming.
