OSS developers perceived some value to be gained by them, at some point they seem to be disillusioned by the outcome or don't want to pay the cost of further investment beyond what they put (and got back) thus far.
This just seems natural and could be followed by one of either
1. productise OSS project and start making money from it
2. allow other top maintainer to take the lead
3. work at some BigCo where they can afford to pay full time working on this OSS project, if that makes sense
