There's much to criticize about the dev, but there's really no way to make it significantly easier. Most robovac companies just don't want you to flash the firmware.
The dev opposes selling the connector PCBs, but people have always ignored that and sold them online. They're not hard to find, but having the PCB is really only the first step.

Not banning people that want to buy a flashing kit instead of making one would be a start.
I for one would learn nothing, and wanting privacy shouldn't require an arbitrary skill when unnecessary like in this case. Not even mentioning that buying the parts is prohibitively expensive compared to some finished kits I've seen.
