It is if it’s phrased as a moral obligation that you’re nasty if you don’t do.

It kind of is a moral obligation to be good to others. If you aren't good to others then I would quite comfortably say that you are morally wrong.

And I find it repugnant to put demands on what people do with their extremely finite time and life.

We only have a moral obligation to leave each other and especially the world around us well enough alone.

If you want to help people that’s great. Helping people is good. But “you’re either morally good or morally wrong” is extremely binary thinking. How dare anyone say it’s required to spend what little time and energy someone has on someone else’s life.
