That sounds completely surreal. Is Bun really used that much?

That is a 100% on point analysis, there was a lot of hype around Bun since the beginning when it was an invite only project. Arguably that same interest is what got Jarred VC funding in the first place.

Note that usage and public interest are not the same quantity, people also care about the potential of a project.

  • A project getting hype does not mean that same project could sustain itself through crowdfunding.
