Reminds me of a joke, where there was a beggar sitting on a street next to a certain office, and one man has been giving him a coin every time he went to work or was going home. That continued for a while, until one day the man says to the beggar - "you know, I've been giving you a coin twice a day for a while now, but now I am getting married, it's an expensive thing so I can't give as much anymore, I only will be giving you a coin once a day from now on". And the beggar cries out: "Look at this putz, he's getting married and now I have to feed his whole family!"

This scenario is more like if the man tipped you when you never needed it, you used the money to buy something, and then he forced you to work for it. You never would have spent the tipped money if they didn't give it to you, and the fact they did with the intention of asking for it back is annoying.

In this bitnami case, I would have just built these images myself but they offered public images accessible from dockerhub. There's 0 reason to change the existing registry besides intentionally breaking builds. The security narrative they try to spin about why they will delete the legacy registry is also laughable. As if the consumers of those images are incapable of assessing the risk of using legacy images themselves.

If it's trivial to build images yourself, then just build it and be thankful for all the utility you earned by deferring doing the task till later - time is money, very literally, the whole point of credit is time-shifting money. You were allowed to time-shift work, and for free. But the expectation you could time-shift it forever is not based on any promise - they were always free to revoke the option, and now they did. If it's a trivial task, make your own one - you could even do the society a service and put it up on the docker repo.
