As a developer, I agree with this sentiment.

Other people are able for fork my code and make it work the way they want.

I wrote code for myself. Now, if someone will pay me for my time, I'll
write it the way they want. Until they do, they are just voices that I
have to ignore.

I don't even have to stick my fingers in my ears, I just weep for them
as I think about how insane they must be to think that I owe them something.
