There's a big difference between open source tools led by open source communities or individuals and open source tools led by Big Tech. Often the latter may decline features which are against the interests of the company, even if they're in the interests of all of the users.
While I agree with that you cannot push something against the goals of the company, but I argue there is no difference with most open source. Try get something new into the gnu tools. If you want to add a word count feature into ls. Might be a cool feature but the maintainer
Will say something like "nope" whatever argument you will bring because it violates their core goals.
