I've not experienced too much entitlement from users of my open source projects. What I have experienced is the long tail of changes unrelated to the core competency of the library. I have some libraries where the fundamental logic and subject matter hasn't changed at all in a decade, yet I get a few dozen PRs a year to keep up with churn in the ecosystem. Sadly there are software ecosystems that don't value backwards compatibility at all - which causes massive pain for anyone who wants to build something that last in those ecosystems. Running in place to keep up with your dependencies is not why I code! Maintaining these projects has become 99% busy work and I regret releasing them as open source.
