In fairness, a lot of the larger grants/​projects are not seeking funding from smaller donors, so discussing (e.g.) OpenPhil’s latest grants may not be hugely action relevant.
I’d also guess that some critics may not be saying much not because they’re put off by sounding mean, but rather their critical view arises from their impression of the existing evidence/​considerations rather than from something novel to the existing discussion. If (e.g.) one believes the hotel has performed poorly in terms of outputs given inputs it seems unnecessary to offer that as commentary: folks (and potential donors) can read the OP and related documents themselves and come to their own conclusion.
