I'm super grateful for free projects, but people gotta understand that depending on the type of project users still need some kind of guarantees before they can invest time in them. And this has nothing to do with "being pessimistic". And if maintainers can give good answers to such questions, then this will only make their project stronger and everybody more happy.
The operators of this gratis, ~quarter-century-old service are doing just fine without bothering to please users like yourself. You're unhappy with it, but they've clearly made the right choice.
> And this whole attempt at making someone with legitimate questions look bad...
[Edit: actually, I think I misread your comment! I guess this is extra context for the people arguing that expecting some sort of contingency planning is unfair].

"gotta understand", "free projects", "need some kind of guarantees", "'invest' time", "give good answers".
Do you hear yourself?
It's more amazing that they don't realize that anything given or guaranteed wouldn't be worth anything, anyway.
Please explain what you mean in full sentences. Thank you.
“I'm super grateful for free projects, but”
No but. Be grateful. Do not ever expect some form of guarantee, continuity or support.
That’s it.
What nonsense. Can't I have questions before using something offered to me? Trade-offs are everywhere even with free things.
And this whole attempt at making someone with legitimate questions look bad ... sorry but it's ridiculous.

No one here is assisting with that; it's all you.
I agree with you - but this project also offers pay-for services.
