I don’t think it’s necessarily the job of the developers, the main issue IMO is that there’s not enough involvement from other specialists such as designers in open-source communities.

This is not a problem with people, but with UX design.

We don’t need a corporation to have usable interfaces. Right now, if you visit join-lemmy.org, the main focus is for people wanting to host an instance, which is only a small part of the advanced user base. The common user won’t care about the fact Lemmy is made with rust or that there’s a docker image.

I don’t think it’s only an issue with Lemmy, lots of open-source projects lack user-friendliness and onboarding.

The problem already exists now, having oauth wouldn’t change anything.
