Well, a lot of FOSS is written for the author, and then a tarball is put up someone in case others might find it useful. In a lot of these cases I don't think the author really cares about making a 'product'. They just want to get the code out there. Of course not all FOSS software is like this, but some is. And this isn't a Linux thing, there is FOSS for other platforms that suffer exactly the same problems.
