If you don't want to contribute anymore you don't have to, just go and do something else - but once the code was published it's not just "yours" anymore, it belongs to the community, that's the whole idea behind OSS. You give it away to everyone and anyone to use it and fork it and un-unpublish it as much as they like...

This is (in my opinion) the problem with (most? all?) OSS licence models: What if your software or parts of your software are used against your will or intention? What if your software or parts thereof is taken by the "Big Tech", commercialized and you think this is a total perversion of the intention you had while writing this software?
The more i think about the possibilities the less i like the idea...
