That's whataboutism.

The bot did ask you to add a news entry. According to 
https://devguide.python.org/triaging/#github-labels-for-prs the "skip news" 
label should only be used in trivial cases like fixing a typo.

I find your choice of words hurtful and it demeaning.

Other core developer go through great length to keep backwards compatibility 
for older or less commonly used systems. In bpo-40810 Erlend researched SQLite 
version numbers before support for support for ancient SQLite was dropped. I'm 
spending a considerable effort to keep Python working with unsupported but 
still widely used OpenSSL and LibreSSL versions.
