He also gains nothing from open sourcing it

People need to stop having the expectation that everything should be open source. It shouldn’t, nor will it ever be

It costs him nothing and makes thousands of people happy. It contributes to the open source landscape which he built on heavily. Search his Reddit profile for open source mentions and see for yourself.

And?

Why does he owe his work to you and anyone else who wants to take it and use it as their own?

I don’t open source anything I intend to actually do anything with, and I’d assume he has a similar policy.

Welp, glad everyone isn’t like you. The world would be much worse.
