I don't blame any project that does work in private and doesn't accept community PRs.
Being open to the community isn't unilateral upside. It comes with huge trade-offs especially the more toxic and opinionated and bikesheddy and entitled the community is. Sometimes you have a vision you want to execute without dealing with egos and emotions in PR comments and without people who have entitled themself some sort of weird ownership of the project because it's small.
Elm's creator has some talks on this. But it's also an experience I have in any project that has traction.
