If you think Facebook are bad when it comes to abandoning software projects, try Microsoft.

Google isn’t far behind either. Perhaps corporate-owned open-source ecosystems weren’t a great idea.

I thought one of the main open-source's selling point is the fact you can fork it and maintain it even when the original author abandons it. Any alternative I can think of is a community-owned open-source, which probably wouldn't often work due to limited resources and no initial funding or a corporate-owned closed-source, which once abandoned is dead for good.
