You're assuming his attitude is based on his open source expectation. Without any more detail, I'd be more likely to assume his attitude is based on his experience with purchased stuff. Do you think he would have gotten that kind of response from the .Net developers if the problem was on that side?

It might even be reflective of no experience at all.
