And it is my impression from reading the whole thread up to now and from reading previous threads it is actually about: Having your way and your way only. That is not exactly "work both ways". Quite similarly regarding your stand towards distributions like Debian. Sure you can question well established rules all the way you want and maybe you are even right about it. I do not feel qualified enough to judge on that. I am all for challenging well established rules on justified grounds… But… even if that is the case it is still a negotiation process. Expecting that communities change well established rules on the spot just cause you are asking for it… quite bold if you ask me. It would be a negotiation process and work both ways would mean to agree on some kind of middle ground. But it appears to me you do not seem to have the patience for such a process. So it is arguing on both sides which costs a lot of energy of everyone involved.
