Here's the thing: I can spend time fixing code, or I can spend time
arguing with people about patches to make it work now. I only have so much
time. This comes back to the original comment you thought was arrogant.

If I have fewer hours than I need to do everything I'd rather fix things
than argue with people about the changes we need to work at all. Your
point (I think it was your point) that no one else was doing it is true.
No one's volunteering, and I don't have money to hire an arguer;-)
