I've noticed this too (https://github.com/netlify/netlify-cms/releases https://github.com/netlify/netlify-cms/releases) with lots of open issues which makes me very nervous about using it for client projects. Netlify CMS is more than good enough for solo and small sites but it feels like it never took off like it should even with the backing of Netlify. Netlify's recent pricing changes to their hosting where they charge per Git user who trigger commits isn't great here either.
> Why are there not more alternatives?
Maybe it's hard to make money from? There's quite a few commercial offerings where some try to offer a slice of it as open source.
I'd love an active open source alternative to WordPress with a basic site builder i.e. you can drag and drop pre-built page sections to create new pages and get a live preview before you deploy. Unfortunately, WordPress is still the safe open source choice for ease-of-use of the editors for basic business sites.
