Ask HN: Why the Deluge of Zapier Alternatives?

Last year I worked on a domains-specific alternative to Zapier, and ever since I've been thinking to use that experience to build my own system with a similar functionality. But recently I've noticed quite a few posts here on HN, almost to the point of having a "weekly Zapier alternative":

* G-Script: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34758348

* Activepieces: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34723989

* Trigger.dev: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34723989

* And a whole list: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34735689

Any ideas why is this particular idea suddenly so popular?
