Sure. But that works both ways.

If you're not going to support the development in any way, then you don't get to have an opinion on what should be done or complain about bugs.

Honestly, even then, I think we're stretching it. Maybe at the surface it seems like it should be that way, but this isn't just some tiny package that a few companies are using. We're talking about tens of millions of downloads every week. This package has essentially gone and become public infrastructure, much like log4j.

The companies relying on it should realize as much and understand that it's in their best interest to ensure that the package keeps on being maintained.

So nobody should write OSS because you can’t complain about the fact that you chose to make it free. And nobody should use OSS because they can’t complain when the software is broken. I think this says a lot about open source software.
