It's an exaggeration, but still usually true. Most patches take some
non-trivial work to create and debug, no matter how many lines they end up
touching. A patch that only takes a couple of seconds to create does not
save much time for the person who is going to turn it into a pull request.

People can do what they wish. But the best way to contribute is to follow
the contribution process.
