Can you give out some examples of projects that function(ed) on this principle?
If you look at 2015 node tools you’ll find plenty of such examples. Literally every build tool from that time is dead now, except webpack.
I wrote that if you build community you have responsibility. If you don't want to build a community be clear about it.
My beef is with people who build community for "fame" and for "money somewhere along the road" - that are getting burned out because money are not there. Where we have loads of libraries by genuine people.
