Literally the next line lists its replacement eza.
like good open source, it's now forked by a community instead of having only a single maintainer
eza: https://github.com/eza-community/eza
The README has an ad at the top.
Yeeeah, nope.
For a cloud-based terminal emulator that heavily focuses on AI none the less. And they have the stomach to call it "for developers".
The tool itself has no ads. What's wrong with a README having an ad?

That's the Lindy effect: old tools like ls last because they've already lasted, while modern ones often don’t stick around long enough to.

On the contrary, that's exactly what “modern” sounds like. I wonder when all those tools will go unmaintained. Coreutils, with all their problems, are maintained since before authors of many listed tools were born.
