They don't want you forking it for that purpose, either.

Is it technically open source? Yes. Is it spiritually open source? No. Is it arrogance and poor management? Along with many ways this project is run, absolutely yes.
I’ve just had one SD card with HomeAssistant on it, fail on me last week after a power cut. It’s easy to fall into this fallacy of “it’s been working fine until now, so it will keep working”, I had the same thinking.
Luckily I was doing restic [1] backups daily to my Hetzner box, and my last HA backup was there, so I didn’t have to start from scratch. But it’s still annoying to have to buy another SD, flash it and find a way to restore the backup just to get your home running again.

No idea. I've always run my HAs on Debian, which is supported - https://github.com/home-assistant/supervised-installer .
> Without doing this, you can’t install add ons from the store.
Ofttimes you can do it yourself, because yes they are just docker containers. I don't use them myself as I don't find much use for most of them. The more important addon tool is HACS and that works stand alone.
> But from there, it seemed extremely GUI oriented… I had to install an add on just to see my config files
Yes it's very GUI focused now, you can usually get to the basic yaml config in any screen though if you click through to manually configue that component. This was generally done because the yaml config method was a pain even for the tech literate... because yaml.
If you want proper code in HomeAssistant have a look at AppDaemon https://appdaemon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/HASS_TUTORIAL.htm... Makes it easy to use Python in HomeAssistant.
Alternatively there is Node-red https://nodered.org/ (js visual node programing automation) and huginn https://github.com/huginn/huginn (Python automation)
They will never offer as much integration as HA so I tend to find using HA as a dashboard/device integrator and then Node-red/AppDaemon for the actual automations to be more optimal.

Good news, you can use HA with LDAP (ish) and it's sorta supported using the built in command line auth - https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/authentication/providers/... and the ldap-auth-sh script - https://github.com/bob1de/ldap-auth-sh
Not quite SSO, but at least the passwords and users a synced across, so that's nice.
