I agree. I've seen it happen before on a project I use. I decided to take a look at the repo for one of the plugins, and I saw a heinous issue that basically was TELLING (not even asking) the maintainer to fix it.

Deplorable behavior indeed

Like dominoes, as soon as it is accepted in a few places, people think it is acceptable to push to 'share'. It's almost terroristic sometimes, the pressure some maintainers are under.
