Yep It's some kind of logical fallacy where they try to discredit what you're saying by asserting that you must have some kind of solution in order to justify identifying a problem. It feels as if they try to 'prove' that they are smarter than you are, because you clearly don't have solutions where they clearly do.

It's a weak form of deflection.
