Also using PyPI as a benchmark is incredibly myopic. Github's 2025 Octoverse[0] is more informative. In that report, you can see a clear inflection point in total users[1] and total open source contributions[2].

The report also notes:

> In 2025, 81.5% of contributions happened in private repositories, while 63% of all repositories were public
