I mean but did I miss something or Thunderbird is open source? Like the author lists a bunch of functionalities that were requested for Thunderbird but weren't implemented, but they implemented in Betterbird, was it a bad thing to maybe create a pull request for Thunderbird to keep a single product? Or spotlight was the main objective?

Their point is that patches for these things have existed for years and/or were fixed and then un-fixed later.

Open source doesn't mean that the upstream project wants to / is obligated to merge any and all changes that appear in the wild.
