It should be, yes.

#4My first license was from 2015. This is one of the most important utilities I install on all my Macs. I'm sad to see this apparently (and appearance is all that really counts at a moment like this) shifty behavior from the new owners. Hope the original dev got a nice payday.
I plan to keep running the app without updating until it breaks or I find something I like better. I hate when beloved software (effectively) goes away.

#5I switched to HiddenBar a few years ago when a Bartender licence ran out. It's open source, it's free, and it hasn't been taken over by a new owner who won't identify themselves. https://github.com/dwarvesf/hidden

Does it do anything except cosmetic changes?

#8Why is this not functionality that is built into the OS at this point? Is there anyone that loves 10,000 taskbar apps visible at all times?

There are so many small apps that really ought to be part of the OS by now. A few that come to mind:
Rectangle, or some sort of default way to control application windows with your keyboard.
Mos / UnnaturalScrollWheels: if you use a docking station, you may want natural scrolling when using your laptop as a laptop, and normal scrolling when using a mouse. Windows and Linux both have this solved for 15 years now, I am amazed Apple continues to ignore this.
Alfred: Apple’s Spotlight app has come a long way but I want to lock, restart and shut down my computer with my keyboard. There are some shortcuts but honestly I can never remember the key combinations. It would be much easier to command + space, type “shut down” and the computer shuts down.

Last time I tested it, icons would be hidden by the notch. Have they fixed that yet?
Edit: Nope, no change and the last update was 2 years ago.
Ice ( https://github.com/jordanbaird/Ice ) doesn't currently handle this either, but it's "on the roadmap" ( https://github.com/jordanbaird/Ice/issues/1#issuecomment-192... ) and it's being updated.
