Even Linus seems comfortable with 100 these days: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/lin... On my team we've settled for either 100 or 120 depending on language.

Perhaps the answer is a lot of these services are less vital and desired as their MAU figures lead everyone to believe. If someone really wants or needs something, they'll find a way to pay for it (directly or indirectly) if access can
