Unless the author is insanely rich, they probably don't want to spend increasingly large amounts on hosting unless they have a way to make money back (even if it's just to break even).

To keep this up and running for 2-3 years, you probably do need to be rich, or to find a way to monetize.

It's possible when it gets to be a drain, even charging pennies for the service could drive off the bad actors making it unsustainable though.
