Take this as pure speculation, but my gut feeling says that this might be due to the tendency in the infrastructure/cloud side to move towards Kubernetes and similar solutions. Classic massive vms fleets are a thing that, in my opinion, has been and will continue decreasing and perhaps, there are no challenges that might appeal to someone in order to create a replacement for something mature that works and has a big company as RedHat behind. Again, pure speculation from my part. Me personally have used Ansible a lot in my carrer until 2 years ago, where I moved back fully to the Kubernetes world, and yes, Ansible can be used there too, but I prefer to rely on more native solutions. Funnly enough, during the last months of that period, I started to write, as a side project, a “clone” in Golang introducing improvements and new features but I finally abandoned it as I moved away from that vm/ssh world.
