You'd be surprised. I've encountered quite a few (secondhand) horror stories of upstreams behaving in exactly that fashion.
(My usual attitude towards these kinds of disputes tends to look pro-upstream, but it's really more pro-the-people-who-do-the-work-call-the-shots; if upstream doesn't want to make a change, they don't have to, but neither does downstream have to use/package/triage/etc. upstream's work. It would obviously be preferable if everyone got along.)
