You make so many outlandish claims and outrageous statements - Oss libraries being entirely ai, you can trivially replace any Oss library with agent output, etc. It really distracts from your core question (which has a premise that doesn't seem reasonable)

Its a generalizatiom but this is a direction Im seeing. I maintain OSS project logdy.dev. Until last year around this time I saw a steady influx of github stars every week (not huge but steady enough to project next few weeks). Since then, the traction pretty much stopped. So my thinking is - in coding agents era people dont need to format their local logs since agents take care of the dev mostly. If I were to start this project again, I wouldnt do it right now since the problem wouldnt be worth solving. The economics moved. This is just my example but I guess similar things are happening out there. So, the question remains, is there a use case for niche oss projects anymore? (By niche I mean something thats not mainstream)
