My point of view on that is quite simple, I am working on open source projects for many reasons.Part is personal pleasure, part is to have good tools at my disposal. My interest in adding features that I don't need and don't care about is low. Developing software takes time, and unless I, personally, see a benefit out of it (which can be as nebulous as 'I find this interesting' or 'wouldn't it be cool'), I rarely take the trouble to do so. When people make feature requests, they tend to in several categories, bug fixes or features that I think I would use I tend to value more than features that I don't see myself using and don't really give me much of a benefit. For those people, I suggest doing it themselves or paying to have it done. It is that simple.
