I still believe that open source is about what's in the license, and everything else is just us putting expectations on others. Understanding this made me less angry with the world. And why do I need to put any of these things to anywhere, why do I need to explicitly opt out? And making promises about the frequency at which I'm considering contributions, promises I'll most likely break at some point, just sounds like a perfect way to introduce anxiety into my hobby project.

You don’t have to do anything, that is perfectly clear. Just don’t expect to be successful or be taken seriously if your project is expected to be used by everyone. I think you might be confusing my intent about a hobby project vs project ownership as a hobby. This article and thread are mainly about the latter.
