I think this is both untrue and unfair.

Untrue, because Guile users are either developers themselves or users
of Guile-based applications.  In the former case, they should be able
to manage installation from source; in the latter, there are wider
packaging issues to address that are more in the domain of the
distributor than of the core Guile developers.

Unfair, because everyone contributes to Guile for free and spends
their time according to their own perception of priorities.  No one
has a right to demand something different.  (Opinion is fine, but the
above doesn't read as an opinion.)
