osquery is a cool project, with a lot of outstanding issues. It has a great deal of technical debt, including performance and security debts that don't receive adequate attention. It also has a huge user community around it, but only a handful of active recurring contributors and companies actually funding development on it (and, even then, the bulk of the development is feature work rather than debt burndown).
