I don't think the fact that it's sqlx or rust is really relevant. What you're describing is a problem and conflict of interest that's pervasive on open source, and that's what I thought worthy of discussing on hn. I'm sorry that people seem to focus on your use of the word sorry, I read it to mean in the sense of "it's a shame that the world is how it is".
