It's worth noting that crates.io is supported by the Rust foundation (https://foundation.rust-lang.org). Judging from their most recent annual report (https://foundation.rust-lang.org/static/publications/annual-reports/annual-report-2022.pdf), where they reported a $880k surplus, I think they're probably going to be around for a while.
