Great for you, I guess there'll be lots of work for you to do if that were to happen.
For my part, I do a little open source for fun in my free time. That works for me because I'm reasonably anonymous, i.e. any mishaps or bad blood from entitled users can't really affect me in other ways. Bugs happen, stupid security fuck-ups happen, irrational demands happen, but all that can reasonably do is burn my GitHub identity.
That's important to me, I'm not out to build another stressful career as an unpaid provider of first-class software and services, I just sometimes share what I build for myself anyway. If every single thing I do is transparently connected to my real identity, I'll move everything I do to my private Gitea and it'll stay there. That's no big deal for the general public, none of my things are very popular or important, but I guess others will feel the same and their stuff might be. I'd hate for this to die because greedy corps want their free labor to happen in a panopticon.
