The indoctrination of windows is extreme. Windows is just as hard as linux, harder even with all the layers of obscurity.
And yet… linux is hard, and users decry RTFM as “not growing the userbase”

Every user should give back either in the form of labor or with money. All of the problems you list are problems that could be solved with money.
Many FOSS projects don’t focus on getting a lot of donations or selling services. Non profits need revenue too. Even the sale of merch like stickers or mugs with the project logo could be used more effectively.
Contributing with labor is also not easily accessible or even always well received. Active outreach from the project to recruit users is also not practiced much. All of that is of course organizational and managerial work as well as media work and community management. If the volunteers are already overloaded, it won’t be done well of course.
Very much so. Voluntary work should only be done, if the work itself is enough reward or simply fun or as a learning experience. A project can be sustainable even if it’s carried by overworked frustrated people. It just needs a way to recruit new contributors at the rate people quit from burnout.
