Agreed, although I am also mostly an embedded dev. I think the social aspect of GitHub creates most of the pressure and I do not like that it is seen as synonymous with open source. Nobody stops you from just not adhering to requests. If people get nervous they can fork and do it themselves. My company uses open source (who doesn't?) and would never think to place anything on open source devs.
