“Making demands” which were: please don’t package my code in your distro that has dozens of out of date packages my code depends on that will break. Because I don’t want to deal with end users bugging me about it being broken.
I think the most surprising thing is that you can’t see how unreasonable your complaints are.
If you attempted explaining how you think my stated position is unreasonable, perhaps I could see it. So far you've only attacked strawmen, such as claiming that I am demanding support from HA or claiming upstream was being asked to support nixpkgs.
What I do see is a project calling itself FOSS, while its maintainers really don't like it being used as Free Software. If one wants to control downstream uses of one's software, the answer is quite simple - release it under a proprietary license. Don't grant freedom while going on and on about how you support freedom, but then be upset when someone actually uses that freedom to do something.
> deal with end users bugging me about it being broken.
The nixpkgs maintainers asked how much this was actually happening, and even preemptively proposed solutions. OP didn't engage and just repeated his demands. And in general how is this any different from the common DRM-authoritarian refrain that companies are justified locking down devices they make, lest end users modify them and then clueless people might attribute the outcome to the original manufacturer?
