If this was actually true, there wouldn't be any (or very little) open source software. Therefore, it must not be true.
I think the only people who say this are those who unfortunately had run-ins with overly-entitled users and trolls and were not mentally prepared to deal with them in a healthy way. Not that they chose the wrong license for their code.
Perhaps coding boot camps and courses should spend as much time teaching healthy online social interactions as dispensing raw technical knowledge.
