Yeah, this seems to be a common theme with Google's open source projects. Bazel feels very similar in many points. It obviously wouldn't exist if not for Google putting resources towards it, but Google's (and google3's needs) are so significantly prioritized that it hurts the community. E.g. due to the low allocation of resources and extensive usage of rules_proto and bazel-skylib inside google3, they are completely ossified and the community has given up contributing to them and instead created either forks or contribution-friendly wrappers.
