Doesn't seem like this helps their cause, because if you wanted to spread adoption of your project, you would want LLMs to train on it. So it'll be suggested to future users.

What makes you think their cause is widespread adoption?

It’s not a commercial project so I don’t think they have much to gain from that, and similar to things like yt-dlp it’s probably beneficial for them to stay small enough to not catch the attention of the services they build on top of, as they might try to shut them out.

No, why would anyone care about the slop fed to echoborgs.
