I'm always assuming that upstream will either accept the PR, or explain how to achieve my goal without requiring a change to upstream. Either way, such a pull request should be resolved fairly quickly and not linger around for too long.

Why does this not not scale when doing enterprise java? Is it the 'enterprise', or 'java', or the combination thereof?

Many reasons, cultural, not often on github or developed openly, huge variance in quality, maybe not so agile, huge code drops every 6 months with tons of churn so even tiny patches can add huge overhead to the rebase when you upgrade versions soooo you don't.
