I don't think everything you said is true. Some of the Linux distros have paid programmers, and I'm sure that they must do some testing before they put an app out.

You can probably be assured that in at least one ideal environment all the apps worked. Do they work as shipped with openSUSE? That often requires hands on testing and we are the testers. I maintain some packages because I use them. I test them very intentionally because I need them to work. I maintain some other packages because I stepped up to the plate when someone asked. I'm sure a couple of those I haven't tested post the 13.1 release. If no one else is using them they could well be totally broken.
