I find this to be a really tired discussion/response that pops up whenever new software comes around.
"X doesn't do Y"
"Did you really want Y"?
Of course they do, they just complained about it.

But it is reasonable to hold a piece of software up to standards set by the majority of other software in the same realm. Other text editors can open log files, this one probably should be able to, too.

It's just a rhetorical way of saying "I don't understand why that is a problem", and a request for explanation. I would say that's a pretty reasonable response to "I found this is a problem".
