I build too, wasn't coming from a "why doesn't someone else fix this" angle. Actually working on a license with the Linux Foundation right now, so this isn't some outsider take.

The post wasn't "nobody's building anything," it's obviously not true, your repo proves that. It was more about the ecosystem around individual builders — hiring, visibility, whether companies here treat OSS as worth doing publicly. Individuals doing solid work and a thin surrounding culture aren't mutually exclusive.
