So Rich Hickey, (creator of #Clojure), wrote a thing where he argues that as a mere user of open-source, you're not entitled to anything from the maintainers.

I agree with the general principle and have made similar points myself, except that:

a.) If you want the 'fame' of having many users, mutual respect is necessary. You're not god.

b.) If you're not going to implement a feature, don't waste people's time by keeping the issue/discussion going, only to dash their hopes years(!) later.
