Open Source absolutely stops being maintained. And worse.

Yup, source code does not stay maintainable automatically. Just that code is open does not mean anyone can or wants to do any reasonable development.

The only ”safer” bets are the biggest projects providing critical infra for segments of economy like python for example.

At least if you care about it enough then if it dies you can pick it up yourself and maintain it.
