I'll say depends. Personally, my hobby projects are about me, just shared with the world because I believe in Free Software.
Yet, I'm not obliged to deliver anything to anyone. I'll develop the tool up to the point of my own needs and standards. I'm not on a time budget, I don't care.
Yes, I personally try to reach to the level of best ones out there, but I don't have a time budget. It's a best effort thing.
