Why are people so entitled? How much is the author paying WolfSSL to make demands of them?

Oh yes, he has become a victim of using a FOSS library.

The "victim" was the Elixir or Erlang library, not himself. To be clear.

I don’t think it was clear, but thanks for the insight.

Was WolfSSL forced upon Elixir or Erlang? Did they purchase it and received a defective product? Are they held hostage by WolfSSL’s decisions? Are they not allowed to modify WolfSSL as needed themselves?

I fail to see any victims beyond perhaps the WolfSSL maintainers for having to suffer such entitlement.

many such cases

Neither person is entitled to the work of the other and neither wants to do the work which seems to be how we ended up here. The author can't make demands of the project and so wrote a blog post warning others that it's not production ready and you'll have broken software if you use it. Their conclusion isn't that they must fix it but that you should use a more mature library.

Two adults both defected in the social prisoner's dilemma and so here we are. Both individuals believing to have done free labor for the other and that they should be grateful.
