The deeper I followed the links, the better the articles became

  1. Open Infrastructure is Not Free: A Joint Statement on Sustainable Stewardship
  2. Free Isn't Free: The Hidden Costs of Tooling Decisions in Open Source Infrastructure

The latter, Sonatype, article, gives some concrete examples of where it went wrong.

  1. Gradle: Centralization Challenge
  2. React Native: Unintentional Overload
  3. Publishing as a Performance Test?
  4. SCA at Scale, Without a Cache

and concludes with some actionable suggestions.
