Good summary, indeed, thank you.

We do try to keep the core maintainable, which implies trying to keep
"amateurish" code out of it. It also implies not adding stuff to it just
so someone can play around with that new feature (tho it does happen,
since it's always difficult to predict precisely how features will be
used).
But indeed, Elisp allows "amateurish" code, and we're happy to make it
possible for amateurs to write their own code and get something useful
from it. We all have to start somewhere.
