Nope, it is simply because they are overwhelmed. Either it's too much work to do after your day job or just too much work for one person.
Also what I've heard from open-source project maintainers, once a project gets popular, the flood of feature requests is neverending. (Something I'm sure I contributed to over the years 🫣) And especially in cases of feature requests with niche usefulness or mismatching vision, they can sap developer morale.
