You don't even need to enshittify Yet Another Service, you just need package maintainers. Debian manages to do this, and I'm guessing they get paid nothing (although, yeah, Amazon and The Goog really ought to chip in a few bucks, considering their respective empires). Unfortunately, it means you can't just YOLO your code into other people's programs anymore.
