While they might be targeting newbies, I find this type of work to be great for enthusiasts and hobbyist as well.
I'm mostly familiar with Python, I dabbled in it for a number of years and helped a friend start using it but don't use it for work or personal projects anymore. Occasionally I have a need for it and because I use it infrequently I have to check my environment and update/reinstall it before I proceed.
Have a Store App that updates and maintains itself reduces that friction for me and I can just go play. The same goes for other OSS like the Arduino IDE, and Inkscape.
