I agree completely.
I can understand someone wanting a snippit of code to show syntax and
maybe a little more code to illustrate general approaches, but some of
these requests to supply cut-and-paste solutions shouldn't be
tolerated.
I am by no means an expert; and beginner questions are fine. I try to
help people, but I am inclined to help those the most who are
genuinely trying themselves.
