My point is that they could be transparent about the fact that they're collecting users along the way to extracting money from them. They chose not to. That's concerning to me. Possible explanations include "they have no idea what they're doing" and "they know exactly what they're doing but think people won't like it".

As the rest of your hyperventilation, no, none of those are my points, and I think you were smart enough to figure that out without me having to say so.

When was the last time you paid Node or npm inc? Projects have the absolute right to monetize without having to start that way. You can use bun without signing up, there’s no data, there’s no registration. There are only entitled users.

I'm not a JS person, so never. But the first has a foundation, and the second has a transparent revenue model.

Bringing up rights is a straw man. They have a right to conceal their plans. I have a right to criticize them for it. You have the right to do defensive, awkward, unpaid PR for people who have millions of dollars. All rights are being honored here.
