Keep in mind that OS2 was and still is a commercial OS and desktop environment,
with commercial clients base, where money can be made just by maintaining it.

Free and open software is a different pair of shoes. Devs and their apps can pop
up suddenly, even enjoy popularity for some time, then may be dropped and left
unmaintained suddenly as well, without any body else jumping in to continue.
It is a much more tricky environment.
