From a business perspective I understand closing it but building OSS and taking it private does feel a little weird?

It's a web scraping tool that requires constant daily maintenance. I don't think they get enough third party contributors to justify keeping it open source. I bet most users are just there to raise issues whenever something breaks.

Looking at the git history they did get decent amount of contributions

they are of course completely free todo this but it does feel a little like profit from OSS and take it private once you have enough
