After the smear campaign and mass roasting he received less than 2 months ago, it's not hard to understand why any charitable intentions he had may have completely dried up
There was a bunch of hubbub around a preemptive promotion of the `pipenv` package to be _the_ package for managing dependencies in python.
There was also a period when development and releases was happening in a somewhat frenzied manner and some github issues were being handled / closed in an antagonistic fashion. I don't know how extensive these issues were, but I remember seeing a few examples that seemed to back up the claims.
At risk of potentially stepping into overly personal territory: As I understand it, Kenneth was unfortunately dealing with some mental health stuff during part of that time period. He posted a blog post that mentioned this.

Here's one related HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18612590
My bias: During my usage of pipenv, while it seemed very promising, I felt that it wasn't fully production ready and had some problematic warts.
