What is it about material themes that does this to people? The same kind of thing happened to the IntelliJ one half a decade back. At least that one wasn't literally just colours.
Just whatever that's popular and has a chance of monetization.

So many people who are otherwise functional in society, for whatever reason just can't play well with others when it comes to online communication. This can be true for both software maintainers and users. People can't just leave their emotions at the door and file a bug report or respond to a help request, without including a little personal jab or passive aggressive snipe. Looking at some of those replies to users,…
So I run a small game that has a couple thousand active users, and part of that is allowing users to chat via written text. The amount of vitriol some users spew just amazes me. If they acted like that in person, I expect they would get punched in the mouth quite often. I also have a suspicion that some of these people are literally mentally ill, and online is basically where they live.
While I appreciate he put in a lot of work (thank you for the theme) - Material Design is someone else's work as well..
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It seems utterly absurd to me that anybody should be able to issue a copyright claim on a collection of colors and fonts. Copyrights are issued to logos and slogans, not design systems.
If you think that sucks, check out T Mobile trademarking magenta https://www.npr.org/2019/11/25/782723429/t-mobiles-parent-te...
These colours are their trademarks but I believe they don't own the colour in all domains.. probably just food? If you wanted to make a car company logo that colour you'd be ok?

So weird that this person took contributions from others then made it closed source. It doesn’t seem right, but not a copyright expert.

So the question remains: what the hell is there to maintain (that takes more than a couple minutes every $godknowshowlong)? I've published and maintained waaaaay more substantial open source projects for years without expectation of any financial contribution.
