When I've contacted devs directly, they have also been "unhelpful". eg for open source - Well of course I don't work on it anymore, look at the git history. Further emails were ignored. Hostile?

This ofc doesn't tell me if they work on it anymore, as they stopped rather arbitrarily at some date and maybe they continued on another platform, maybe the project was acquired and an agreement was to leave what existed in place, etc.

It's the strange expectation that if you are clever enough to use the software, you understand what happened with it 10 years ago. Later on I found the community had migrated to a (copied) fork of the project, which was not traceable through github.

I do feel like it's a trend.
