Sounds like there were intentions or plans to transform a one man project into something bigger. Some steps were made. Hence, a nice looking website, a github org, benchmarks etc. All those signals are intentions, the vision of the future self. They may or may not come true.
Nothing signaled an established business model or sustainable backing of any kind.
If you create an organization on GitHub for a project that is meant to remain personal, this kinda sends a wrong signal.
Blaming some users for being rude and entitled, and then deleting an open source repo out of spite... it's a bit hard to feel sympathy for the guy here.
