I don't think this critique applies to restyled - it's free for use on open source repos, but costs money for private repos.
Which is a pretty standard arrangement for SaaS dev tools that I think makes it pretty clear your data isn't the business model. What I like about that model it is a reasonable balance of customers actually paying for the thing they use (so the business owner isn't beholden to advertising or tempted to abuse data access), and supporting the open source community (without which most of the modern web couldn't exist). I won't say it's entirely without risk - you need enough paid use to cover the costs of the open source use. But I think it's an ethical and sustainable approach if you can achieve that.
And, again, restyled is open source - if you don't trust the owner, you can run it yourself.
