No, it's community's fault! /s
I don't know what their expectations were- most people using the community license probably were happy enough to let their old hobby hardware chug along, and didn't feel the need to write articles or publish software. Looks like they actually released a "partial OpenVMS git" implementation.

And the solution for this is, obviously, not force them to brick their toys, but to get more people playing.
Lots of people pay decent money for emulations of ancient hardware in order to experience computing the way it was. Just look at the people running their PiDP's with their ancient software.
I'd totally run DecWindows as a daily driver if I could. It has X and SSH. What else do I need?
