This is great advice and it's what I've done with my open source projects as well. The point of open source is that it's just that: it's open and free. People can try demanding things from you, but you don't work for them. So they can fork it and make changes or get lost.
I think there's something about seeing a line item on a UI that really breaks people's brains. This is why sometimes having a conversation on Slack can feel different than Zoom or even in person; there's a sort of permanence on these mediums that don't exist in person to person interactions. I think it's similar with GitHub issues. Seeing an issue and getting a notification for it can make repo owners feel inclined to answer.
Just don't answer. You don't owe anyone anything.
