This exchange shows a clash of philosophies. While you are not wrong exactly, neither is your interlocutor. The "capitalist" mindset (as illustrated by your good-faith comment) is to treat this like shopping - "we'll just go elsewhere". But the whole point of FOSS is that we do the work, not "them". So while it's true that "not everyone can be working on everything", ultimately that's very much our problem and one that only we can solve.
