There's a bit of drama going on with the popular game manager Lutris right now, with users pointing out the developer using AI generated code via Claude.
“Looking a gift horse in the mouth” means that you’ve received a gift of some kind, but you’re giving it too much scrutiny. It kind of shows the giver of the gift that you’re not really appreciative of it - sometimes it’s better to smile and nod and thank them for the gift, and scrutinize it later.
I guess what you mean is that Lutris is the gift, but my first reading was that the opportunity to chastise a developer for using AI was the gift.

I think you mean a different idiom than “a gift horse in the mouth”
What’s wrong with it? Seems like the right metaphor.
People are complaining about the minutiae of something they’ve been given freely and don’t have to use.
