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.

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