At face value I'd assumed Tony was reflecting on the freedom a user has to
make something work how they want.

I didn't consider it as demanding, because unless he had offered to create
the features or rally the developers himself or point the OP to another
list, and assuming Tony wasn't overwhelmed by mutual consensus, if you want
something, surely nobody owes it to anyone except themselves to write it?

With sincerety, MHO.
