Detectron was open sourced in 2018. R-CNN didn't have any public implementations (there was later a Keras implementation that didn't get the same performance as the paper reported). TensorFlow models added some object detection models a few days after I started my internship, but had various issues at the time. SSD and YOLO both had public implementations, YOLO's being in it's own C based framework.
It's a completely different landscape three years later.
