I might have no interest in or even actively dislike a project but it might be for work or for a customer or there might be no other option.

Filing an issue is not equivalent or a reasonable stand-in for interest and DEFINITELY not for regard or admiration.

You are right but then the project authors don't owe you support and don't want to support you if you are in that situation, so fork it or find another project.
This user was offering to do work and give it to them.
And they have the right to refuse. Do you know how many times my PRs have been turned down after I already finished the work? Sometimes they only accept PRs if you're in their click lol. That's all fine but clicking on a star is so despicable right? What a joke.
Irrelevant. This conversation is not remotely about incompatible ideas or poor implementations.

You attempted to justify the devs policy with demanding users, which is ridiculous on multiple fronts.
