Even the words "And remember, there are people bashing the maintainers for screwing up something they essentially did as volunteers!" are to harsh, if you ask me. Everybody makes mistakes and it can be extremely annoying to have to fix something when you don't get paid for it (it's your own time). I know this because I run my own "cloud" back-end, when it breaks, I get annoyed but I got to dependent on it to ignore it even though I started it for the fun of it. Now magnify this feeling by a million^million because the whole world is breathing down your neck and sometimes even bashing you.
Btw, I saw this tweet about OBS now many times and I keep wondering why Jesus would steal from OBS :b
If I were higher up the tree in my company I'd dump money on these guys. Or at the very least set up a "donate back to open source" initiative, perhaps based on economic calculation and amounts of software used. Now that I think about, maybe I'll start such an initiative, see how far I can get it.
