I partially agree, but even with stalebots nobody is measuring the maintainers' productivity. So when they made the choice to use stalebots, they did that because they believe that's best for the project. It's different from corporate.

Nobody is measuring their productivity, but people definitely look at how many open issues they have and potentially how long those issues have existed. They’re likely incentivized to close issues for appearances.
