I think perhaps you should define your target groups

Yes, agreed. You are not the first one pointing at this problem of
definitions of types of developers.
The types of developers section kind of confuses me. Is it saying that the
wmf focus of mw api users has been labs users only?
No, it tries to explain that Wikimedia Lab Tools Developers have a focus on
Wikimedia (the mission, the movement, etc) and Wikimedia Web APIs. Other
types of developers focus on their own projects as opposed to Wikimedia's
and/or focus on MediaWiki and extensions as opposed to web APIs.

I think it might be a useful idea to expand this
section into an
enumeration of all the different type of tech people into broad classes,
and document the sorts of things they work on, so we know who the target
audiance of this project is. If there are tech people who are explicitly
out of scope, i think it should be explicitly documented who is definitely
not a target or who is tangently a target as time permits but id largely
out of scope.
Will do.
