I'm trying to be open to this idea of yours, but I don't understand why one would use AI tools instead of simply not working on the project and taking a break.

If the users aren't paying, they're not entitled to updates and fixes - they get them when the developer has the time and willingness. AI tools actively create worse code that will make future work harder.

Maybe they feel obligated to continue, because it became such a popular project. They likely don't want to let people down by dropping the project entirely.

Sure, but they are an experienced developer that reviews the code before it gets committed (as I understood it).

I wouldn't assume a person who actively taunts their critics with hidden AI contributions in their code would give any amount of shit what the community thinks, actually. Very clear sign of "I do what I want to, anyone who disagrees can get bent". Clearly doesn't mind letting down the majority with AI slop.
