Why is it not fair?  What do developers have to lose if they annoy users?

We users get a lot of good stuff from FOSS developers without paying for 
it. (And that's not a FOSS requirement.) That's great.  But, the flip 
side, the unintended consequence, is that FOSS developers are dependent 
on FOSS users for nothing. The only thing of value that a FOSS developer 
gets in exchange for giving away his or her product is personal 
satisfaction. It's human nature that satisfaction, alone, is unlikely to 
obligate FOSS developers to users.
