Most devs dont "care" because they aren't devs. All they know how to do is clone a coin and slap a website together and promise you the moon.

There are only about 10-20 serious and devoted devs in crypto. And maybe a lot of them will burn out. Then consider out of them, they are overworked. I know I sure as hell am. Then consider they deal with tremendous pressure! They work on open source so the reward is diminishing if they dont make it and they have to compete with people who are not devs, but only know how to raise funds with vaporware.Then consider how many of those devs are just greedy and their projects need to be equally innovative and creative. If they have no marketing, they also might hit many road blocks. Getting assistance is hard too because most coders dont understand blockchain tech (maybe only so few cryptographers in the world who will work in cryptocurrency).

In a game/business/(all current industry) with a mix of honest people and liars expect the liars to always rise to the top (because they can cheat and you cant). We are in a growing industry so expect this environment to hinge on what I've just said here.

Only the very lucky few honest people make it because their products were powerful enough and didn't get sabotaged. Crypto is not a healthy industry because it revolves around money and thus is currently driven by greed not ideology. This doesnt mean it wont progress though. It will but it will probably end up in the wrong hands.

Hopefully, new people can come into the space and develop but then again with the open source issue they would need some serious motivation. Devs are not fund raisers and fund raisers are not devs.

Dont let this demotivate you, in contrast, it should help you notice the projects that are worth their salt.

Thanks for the response. Wish I could help on the dev system, but I'm not of that resource, none the less, I like where this coin is going. I totally agree with your words. 

And I've not responded to your last PM because I'm simply 'overworked' right now and wish to spend a good couple of days to absorb it and hopefully add to it!!

Thanks again for everything!
