It's been requested for at least 3 years. I totally understand that it takes a while so I'm not blaming them.
But it seems like in the meantime people have started to move on (I have). Let's hope this can bring back some momentum for them.

I learned after spending an hour to transfer notes that they have a “limit” on the number of “blocks” (aka notes) that I can have.
Absolutely terrible user experience and turned me off from ever using Notion.
I ended up going open source with vimwiki (and obsidian as a visualization layer, although as comments pointed out it’s not open source). much more robust and less impervious to scummy growth tactics or companies shutting down due to acquisitions/pivots in strategy.
Obsidian is not open source. I'm hesitant to dump my stuff into Obsidian because their markdown has plenty of nonstandard features. You can't run a directory of Obsidian notes through Pandoc and copy the output to your website. I think someone did write a partial converter at some point. This is kind of an issue with all the recent notes apps like Dendron, Logseq, and Athens.
The main thing I use obsidian for at this point is visualizing connections between my notes
Both Obsidian.md and vimwiki look really cool though. Do you use Obsidian and vimwiki together, or for separate purposes?
That's a bold statement.
So in the event that they don’t survive or enact policies I disagree with, nothing changes for me
Also, at the end of the day, it's still just plain text. You won't lose any of your data if you no longer use Obsidian.
Went with vimwiki. I just store my notes in a private Github repository. It's simple and effective. So far I've been happy with this setup.
Unlikely that vimwiki or markdown will be going away, can’t say the same thing about Notion.
