No one held a gun to their heads and made them write the software nor give it away for free.

Well...

People are getting harassed a lot for not supporting their software as others think they should. Look at the xz guy, he basically quit because he couldn't take it anymore.

It's emotional extortion, not a physical gun.

Some people’s sense of entitlement is bottomless, despite not being owed a damn thing. They are very silly, and oblivious to it.
