They did here by pushing LSP as a standard. Actually, LSP allows for closed source extensions that are generally useful: they have specially prevented that from happening here. There may be the usual “but it’s not open source” complaints here if they did that, but I suspect that people were mostly interested in the source so they could build their own version that they could use elsewhere more than that they actually wanted the code for something.

I am glad they did. LSP is eons better then stuff we had before.

And nobody here is arguing "LSP is bad". They're instead criticising the duplicity of proposing and promulgating an open "standard" that LSP is supposed to be, and then breaking that practice.
