Had the same question, until I've read your comment

For everyone else with the same thought:

Quick context: Neovim 0.12 (released March 29) ships built-in treesitter support, a native plugin manager, and native LSP completion. The nvim-treesitter maintainer had been rewriting the plugin to require 0.12 - and documented this clearly. Users kept demanding backward compat with 0.11. Maintainer burned out and archived it. The Hacker News thread sided overwhelmingly with the maintainer. Hard to disagree.

Not sure I'd buy that line of thought.
