Hi Sid here one of authors of blog. STAC being open and extensible, makes it a double edge sword yes. Quite refreshing to hear this from someone who was at Radiant coz, it shows we still haven't reached a great way of sharing data yet. What do you think of attempts like Source Cooperative?

There's clearly a need for Source Cooperative given the overwhelming positive feedback we received during the beta. However, Source Cooperative is entirely dependent on Microsoft and Amazon subsidizing all of the S3 / Azure Blob Storage costs. They could pull the rug out at any moment, like we've seen with Planetary Computer, and Source Cooperative would no longer be sustainable. Disclaimer: I built Source Cooperative and left Radiant 2 months ago.
