No I do not think it is your responsibility. But somehow you think
it will only be you to fix it.

In the following thread,

Let me step back, is the current codes (user can choose libusb-1.0
and libusb-0.1) worse than before (using only libusb-0.1 API)?

Please also do not lump the configuration problem in this
discussion -- it has always been there. I found out that myself
long ago when I tried to use libftdi-1.0.

Then we go back to the issue with the libusb-1.0 infrastructure
codes, yes it needs improvement -- for one async API is not used
so that effectively it is similar to the libusb-0.1 code. So further
abstraction may be needed. Andreas' work can be a good
starting point.

I am not a programmer so that I can not fix this. However,
I think there will be people who can improve the current codes.
I do not use the word "fix" since it is just a starting point so
that it needs improvement.

Of course I understand your point. I just want to say that complaining
does not help...
