Why people can’t just use <name> and stop reinventing the wheel?
This is a really dumb take. If you don’t like it, don’t use it. They got an idea and implement it? Good for them
And what does that even have to do with switching to Linux?
i’d usually agree, but in this case, it feels like a cost-cutting measure. webdevs are cheaper and more available, so it’s cheaper for them to just rewrite the installer in electron than pay more expensive desktop developers to maintain their existing installer
Assumptions are assumptions. The server is written in Rust, the idea is to be flexible with control and the optional UI. It has a big focus on Enterprise and things that were difficult with YAST are easier with Agama, such as unattended installation and using Ansible. For a simpler use case you can boot it up on your headless server and connect to https://agama.local/ in a web browser and continue the installation.
Any project is beneficial if someone is passionate about doing it.
The “this person shouldn’t work on this project, they should work on something that benefits me” line is selfish as hell.
If the projects you see aren’t the projects you want, then DIY. But don’t tell people they wasted their time because you don’t want to use their software.

Instead of wasting time on something that has already 1k iterations, they could redirect that effort on something beneficial to Linux.
Any person contributing to this new installer is a person less contributing to something distro agnostic, which is a loss for everyone.
Why isn’t everyone working on Arch instead of wasting time with all those other distros?
Never used arch but I share the same feeling for distro sometimes. A linux distro can either:
