That's probably also why development is usually really slow and most maintainers can't keep up/give up.

Nope, it is simply because they are overwhelmed. Either it's too much work to do after your day job or just too much work for one person.

Also what I've heard from open-source project maintainers, once a project gets popular, the flood of feature requests is neverending. (Something I'm sure I contributed to over the years 🫣) And especially in cases of feature requests with niche usefulness or mismatching vision, they can sap developer morale.
