You can enable/disable each and every one of those things you
listed, and turn it into "just a BBS" if you want to. All of those
features were requested by many sysops over the years, and were also alpha
and beta tested by many (probably less than the first mention of the
many that requested them) for years after they were added.

IIRC, he tried open sourcing it quite some time ago (over a decade
now, probably), which led to a lot more problems than he cared to deal
with, so he closed it back up. It`s been his work, and only his work
for over 30 years. I highly doubt he is going to pass the torch
unless/until he is completely done with it.
If you don`t agree with how he manages his own software, there are
other open source BBS software projects - maybe even ones that don`t have
the features you don`t seem to like - out there for you to get
involved with.
Regards,
Nick
