Those people cannot rightfully be called developers. The same way people who make Mario maker levels cannot be called that.
The coffee metaphor is bad. The correct metaphor would be that you have coffee in every part of the store in between all kinds of products. The store is then 10 times as big so the items you actually want to buy are at the very back end of the store to where you have to walk 5 minutes. If you want to compare 2 products you always have to walk a few meters between the products because it's all just coffee in between. Also all the coffee is by the same brand.
This has nothing to with choice. Showing you one product and then offer you 100 times nothing, you still have only one actual product to choose.
This is about actual garbage. "Games" that aren't finished, games with the bare minimum of cotent to be even called games, games that run at 10fps, games that crash, games in early access that will never be finished, games with false advertising. This isn't about games you might not like, it's about actual garbage that is not fit for consumption.
We as gamers should make clear that there needs to be a certain entry level of quality and that garbage is not tolerated.

Can't you do that by simply not buying it rather than hating the people who offered you it?
And I've also got to echo zero in that I simply don't see much of those garbage games on Steam/PSN. If it weren't for places like VGC and Youtube that keep mentioning them I wouldn't even know the exist

Not buying them obviously doesn't work since there are still chumps plunking down money for them. So obviously they are visible enough for people to actually stumble upon them. All the money spend on those could be spend on actual quality games of talented developers, funding them to make more great games. But instead we only get more garbage.
The informed consumer is in the minority.
