Pretty much the entire OSM sphere is developed and populated by volunteers. And they you come along and say they should take their heads out of their ass. Yes, the burden is on the users, because the developers are users themselves. No, not everyone has programming skills, but even nontechnical people can still contribute to the dataset with bus station locations and bus routes.
It's completely okay to not use a piece of software, and if you have some feedback to give that might sway you, great! But don't insult the developers because they have limited time and resources.
Are you're doing it again. Stop the insulting, and ask for a feature like a normal person and someone is a lot more likely to be encouraged to work on it.
