I find if you maintain an open source project as if your users were customers, things tend to go pretty smooth.

Smooth for whom? Not the one beholden to a bunch of non-paying "customers" I'd wager.
What is the bad thing you posit would happen when a bunch of non-paying "customers" are treated in a professional manner?
Can you explain how you found that?
By trying it, and realizing afterwards that nothing bad happened as a consequence.
The main benefit is that it forces one to try to be professional and consistent, and to avoid being flippant, cryptic, didactic, and condescending.
Keep in mind that cutting customers loose is a natural part of the game, too. If someone demands to get a Big Mac at Chipotle there's no law that says they get to block the line for eternity.
