(Also, as a sibling comment implied, the archetypal "bazaars", like the Linux kernel project, now appear quite cathedral-like in conparison to the free-for-all GitHub model!)

i think the claim is that more projects are locking up contribution paths ~currently
(Sorry, accidentally negated my meaning there, what I meant is that they have only seen this current world. Or never seen a world where it isn't the case, to use a confusing double negation.)
A lot of stuff isn't. It may be open source, but the number of contributors is small and many large projects are cathedrals with people volunteering to lay some stones. The large projects often have core teams who organise and manage it, but then accept some contributions. It's closer to the organised Cathedral, than the chaotic Bazaar.
Now LLM spam has made it harder, so now there are fewer situations where it makes sense, and projects are switching to a cathedral model.
