It relates more to the dynamics that emerge especially when modding relates to something like Valheim that happens to be still essentially unfinished in terms of content, and it happened to blow up to stupidly popular heights out of nowhere. While the lazy devs™ (read that with extreme dose of sarcasm) did nothing modders did stuff for free and whatnot.

I am not against modding by the way, but especially when it relates realities of developing something from scratch vs welding the differential shut because it already exist it may lead to some utterly dumb nonsense.
