"That guy" happens to be one of the most well respected mentors in FIRST, who shares his designs so that EVERYONE (Your ingrateful self included) can have a chance to use them. He does this for the good of all FIRST teams, to close the gap between teams with lots of resources, and teams with fewer resources. The least you can do is thank him, and not mock and trivialize his work.
Competition and inspiration go hand in hand. Those who inspire will be pushed to do it again and again by those who see this as a healthy competition. Those who are inspired will compete to be an inspiration to others. You can have your cake (competition) and eat it (inspire) too.
