I don't see how this is related. Being rude in tone, and wasting someone's time, are different things. You make it sound like they are the same.
But the opposite of what you propose is true. The maintainers are annoyed by others wasting their time in other cases as well as in this case - it's coherent behavior. And in my opinion, it's sensible to be annoyed when someone wasted your time - be it by lazily made patches or by intentionally broken patches.
I'm not the one who is making them sound like the same thing. There are literally people in this thread, saying that "wasting time" is being "disrespectful" to the maintainers.
