Yes they can fork and pay someone to resolve issues for them. If the maintainer isn't paid by the business using the project then he owes them absolutely nothing.
That's why I'm talking about collaboration, and that's what developers often forget. Making a pull request is simple,80% of the time, the user has the capability to patch a bug, but he can't be bothered with that yet complains. That's entitlement.
