I kinda buy this dichotomy. Which you prefer seems to depend on which artifact you focus on: the software or the community itself.

but since software ecosystems don't exist without community, the preference should be clear.

Most software I prefer to use tends to have singular, highly-opinioned maintainers. I doubly prefer when it makes code evolve more _slowly_!
