the point of open source is to not own things but a lot of people still feel like they ought to

They still own their work but they explicitly allowed people to use it for free for any purpose with a permissive license.
People choosing to use this chose to use a hobbyist project with no claim of being suitable for production use. License explicitly makes it their problem.
yes you have described the license structure of most open source
the spirit of open source is public ownership, and vandalizing stuff given your privileged position of owner is not in that spirit

The spirit of open source as a whole is definitely not public ownership / control. There's a small subset of open source software that's public domain software but not owning the copyright over it doesn't mean that someone doesn't own a certain repository developing the software.
