What kind of obligation do opensource projects have when someone makes a feature request? Honest question, because i see this mentioned as an argument. I presume no one is stopping anyone from developing it and proposing a PR, if the "main dev team" or whoever is running the project is not seeing that feature request as a priority.

What kind of obligation does anyone have to use Thunderbird if it doesn't have features that they want?

Precisely! No obligation on either side.
