Sounds great to me because you are forced to delete code that's not in use anymore. Without the monorepo, that code would still be there with old libraries that are potentially insecure.

Deleting code that is not being used anymore happens way too rarely in my opinion.

The downside is if a product no longer have maintainers you are now encouraged to shut it down, even if it still works and it doesn't cost much to run.

If a product non longer has maintainers, it's probably because it's not worth it for the company. So it makes sense to delete it, from the company point of view.

In that case the product should still have maintainers. Even if only part-time, no software project should be completely unsupervised.
