Because this is the norm for anything atlassian owned/operated...
Is atlassian really that bad?
327 CVE entries for atlassian. Lots of critical and high severity ones too. Dont use anything by atlassian, unless you want your company getting ransomwared.

Meh. More they're swimming with big fish for about a decade or more now.
It's not that they're bad, it's that their priorities have shifted and they don't care.
The fact that they have yoinked their self-hosted option that was perfect for small/individual operators means their priorities no longer include growing organically.
A rabid fanbase of individual users is how you achieve meteoric growth. A sysadmin coming into a company that’s looking for a solution is only going to rave about products they have personally had an opportunity to use themselves.
Just like Microsoft with the former MSDN and its low entry costs, Atlassian has shot themselves in the foot and don’t even realize it.
I'd argue they haven't shot themselves in the foot at all. I agree they've fucked over small selfhosters like me but they're milking the big cows now. Quite frankly they don't care about us small fry because we don't generate revenue. This is no different to M$ or now VMWare. They are squeezing the balls of corporate America now they don't need us anymore. We are an afterthought at best. Relationship is over, better we find a new girlfriend.
