Eli's right: you can (a) make a free software which encourages
users to adapt it (documentation, reflexion (think C-h f)
and so on) or (b) make free software which is so fiendishly
impenetrable ("no serviceable parts inside") that users better
don't.
Emacs goes out of its way to make its innards accessible.
That is a lot of extra work, so (b) happens often for lack
of resources.
Cheers
