Highjacking your comment to add a functional answer to ops question: because the reward incentives in open source environments are simply not aligned with the required workload.

Most people in open source with a couple of random projects on github aren't good at that. And if you were a capable and well-connected individual who can consistently solve the funding problems, a lot of companies would be lining up to hire you and I doubt you'd be wasting your time with a bunch of volunteers moonlighting on hobby projects.
