There are many reasons to be open source. To solve actual problem, to engage with developer, to solicit ideas, to invite public audit, to gain publicity, among many other reasons. I respect and admire all the people who decides to create, open source or not. Author bear all the consequences of their actions, open source or not. Contributions are not all equal, some people might feel more entitled because they made significant contribution in a project. The same people are also those who are most capable of forking. Do it by all means. I am grateful that open source projects exist. But their "turning around" doesn't make me less grateful.
