In what way is updating README.md difficult? Please have as much respect for contributors and potential contributors as you seem to have for maintainers. They're all people after all and their free time is equally important.

In theory, I agree. But again, speaking from personal experience as the maintainer of several somewhat popular projects, it is actually emotionally difficult to update the maintenance status. It appears trivial from the outside, and to some extent I agree with what you're saying about being respectful of others' time, but we should nevertheless do our best to be kind to others. Calling out a maintainer in an off topic comment is not being kind.

You are completely right. I apologize.
