When OpenSSL got and noticed to be critical, it was fixed, funded and also forked tons of time. So open source model works here.

I gut feeling is that Protonmail Bridge is such an obscure project that no one really cares enough, and thus it cannot be “important” or “critical”.

Alternatively, users have an option to change to another system if they are unhappy. Protonmail has no monopoly. But complaining about open source maintenance is not going to change anything. Especially complaining on HackerNews is ungentlemanly.
