Agree.  OP, you’re just flat wrong. There is no obligation on any seller’s part to fix anything.  Your remedy is to terminate the contract if it’s not worth it to you.  They can come back with things they’re willing to do but that’s a negotiation like anything else.  If they either think you’ll cave, or they think they can get their price from someone else, there is no reason for them to negotiate.

I have never fixed anything in a sale other than a “difficult” property where I didn’t have a better alternative.  I remember one home where the buyer tried to present 6 figures worth of “repairs” and sounded shocked, shocked that I told them they could just walk away instead.[/quote]

They came back with zero.

I am prepared to walk.[/quote]

You should.  If the price you agreed is basically market even with the identified issues, you lose.  If the house is overpriced via the market with the identified issues, they lose. But in neither event can you force them to do anything or (frankly) did you have a reasonable expectation of it.  [/quote]

This is the right perspective. OP, you haven't shared whether the property was priced at a premium or whether the price took the condition of the house into account. We are preparing to list our house later this year and will list as-is with some needed repairs but will price accordingly (our neighborhood is rife with renovations, we are opting to move rather than renovate).
