Why would you think this is worth mentioning here?
Instead of explaining, just try to do something, that people actually use, for free, in the open, for some time. It doesn't have to be software, can be work for a nonprofit or a charity etc. I'm sure you will be enlightened.
I volunteer and I don't tell people or believe they should be grateful that an event is happening because of the volunteers. I just don't find this logic compelling in the same way that you don't find my logic compelling either.
It's not about telling other people how they should feel, it's about managing your own emotions as an unpaid maintainer of a somewhat public good facing unreasonably entitled members of public (often not even users of your product).
