Because it violates GitHub’s trademark. I expect them to send the author a cease and desist notice; and if the author is unresponsive or challenges the notice, GitHub will almost certainly initiate the dispute (UDRP) process, which will inevitably cede control of it to them.
> I think you’re putting too much weight on cost (time, money), and not enough weight on “quality of life”, in your analysis.
"Quality of life" is a hugely privileged topic to be zooming in on. For the vast majority of people both inside and outside the US, Time and Money are by far the most important factors in their lives.
Setting aside time, is money not downstream from quality of life? Meaning, in a better world one might not need to care as much about money? I believe that time and quality of life are congruent - good quality of life means control over one’s own time.
I don't think we're gravitating towards complexity. It's much simpler:
1. We add more functionality to the base of what exists (e.g. HTML). More and more individual features. (e.g. selecting things in the DOM, animations, effects, interactions, tracking state)
2. At some point someone takes all the patterns in the latest wave of functionality and writes a library for them. Library is widely lauded or adopted (see jquery, React).
3. We think of new features building on top what is now the new norm, it's now table stakes. Rinse and repeat.
This is a common pattern in engineering, for example writing new entries to a DB, then at some point going back and compacting.

That's because you've chosen not to read about it. Location is one of the most important things they think about for data centers and there are plenty of articles on the subject.
“We set out looking for a place where we could expand into gigawatts pretty quickly, and really get moving within that community on a large plot of land very quickly,” said Rachel Peterson, vice president of data centers for Meta. “We looked at finding very, very large contiguous plots of land that had access to the infrastructure that we need, the energy that we needed, and could move very, very quickly for us.”
To answer the question you're implying, surrounding temperature is pretty minor, the cooling required is orders of magnitude higher, so power access is more important; You'll frequently find them located near sources of energy.
Meta has defacto infinite money, they don't have to look for places where operation is cheap, but where they can be above the law as much as possible for doing whatever they want.
git log is probably good enough for 90% of folks :)
The main reason I wanted to build this is that git log doesn't give me context from GitHub PRs/issues/milestones or CI events. When I'm diving into a new codebase, I like to see who's been working on what, and what ongoing problems/initiatives are propelling that development.
I've only got GH issues up (not milestones or CI events yet), but I think this is a good start!
