Is it wrong to demand features in open-source projects?

~~I have been using open-source software, and, the open-source Community is great at maintaining such projects. But, I have observed something in smaller open-source projects.~~
Whenever I demand some feature or complain about some vulnerability, small or big, there is always someone who says "Instead of reporting/demanding this, why not just create a PR with the demands fulfilled".
So, is it wrong to demand changes in open-source projects? Can't the users demand changes and the maintainers/contributors work on it?
