Sometimes I think so too, but othertimes I realize that the person 
complaining can't step up.

There might be lack of time. For example if I want to contribute to 
Emacs I can't contribute to other pieces too, but I still think that my 
view can be worth considering for example if I test GNU/Linux (or any 
other free software). I do express my view about other freesoftware now 
and then. I do not demand any action, I just tell what I think could be 
improved and why.

There may of course also be lack of knowledge of how to improve the 
software. You might for example be a usability expert without any 
knowledge of how to write software.
