The result is a queue to work through rather than a counter that climbs, which is worth seeing at small scale.

A request is an invitation sitting in a queue, not a connection. Nothing happens on your profile until you act on it, which means the visible result of this sample is a list to work through rather than a number that moves on its own. People who expect a counter to climb will look in the wrong place and conclude nothing arrived.
Open the notification area for pending invitations rather than the profile page. That is where a delivery of this kind appears, and it is the only place it appears until you decide what to do with the contents.
The useful question after a sample is whether you actually want the work that comes with it. Twenty pending items is manageable. A larger order produces a queue that takes real time to process, and the honest answer for a lot of people is that they do not want it. Finding that out at this scale is the point.
