This is exactly right. I also see this from programmer side-projects. The programmer finds a new cool idea, makes a MVP, then gets bored and moves on. Github is a holding yard for such things.

Nothing wrong with writing simple side-projects and moving on, that's an excellent way to learn. Not everyone can afford to donate a bunch of their time in maintaining a project for free, especially considering it's often such a thankless task.

The fact that the code is available means someone can fork it and make their own changes and improvements.

It’s not necessarily about getting bored. The research/experiment process can be the goal in itself. Not everything is about building a finite product.
