I wonder from all the people commenting here how much they relied on Source Graph, and how many actually paid for it. Running an open-source company is hard, just like running any company is. Sometimes you understand there are things you just can't give out for free, and that's part of maturing as a company.

100% this.

Devs have to learn the hard way to behave like the other professionals, want nice things to stay around?

Pay for the tools.

You mean pay for your own tools and then get fired for circumventing the corporate security policies on what tools you can use?

I expect my employer to pay for the tools they require me to use for my job.

Likewise I pay in various forms (books, donations, one time payment, subscriptions), for the tools I use regularly outside my job, for side projects.
