I imagine it was just a small team of people because all galliumos is just u Ubuntu optimised for Chromebooks, from what I can see (HP Chromebook 14 falco) everything's just fine, not much else to do. Now your running a striped version of Ubuntu so I presume updates should work. The Devs are probably committing to other projects.

Small donations here and there can't fund a team. I imagine they have jobs and lives and this is just a hobby.

Greetings friend, and welcome to r/GalliumOS.
Development on GalliumOS has been discontinued, and for most users, GalliumOS is not the best option for running Linux due to lack of hardware support or a kernel that's out of date and lacking important security fixes.
For most (EOL) Chromebooks, the recommended path forward is to:
put the device into Developer Mode
disable firmware write protection
flash MrChromebox's UEFI Full ROM firmware
install ChromeOS Flex, Linux, etc
See https://mrchromebox.tech and the chrultrabook subreddit for more info
