While I am a fan of open source, being able to buy a product is a different thing

That good! Now you also need to find something you want to fix or improve :)

Find something wrong or something you think could be improved. Check if it’s a raised issue or on a roadmap. If not, raise the issue. Fork the repo, fix the issue, make a pull request.

Github is probably the most accessible for doing this, create an account and learn the basics.

You seem to have good intentions. But I think that you’re disregarding how most people would use such a feature if it was an option and what that would do to an ecosystem

The intent wasn’t to "cure " but maybe provide a standard phrase that has worked well for me in the hopes that it might do so for others

“I’m sorry, I completely zoned out. Can you repeat that”

Is the least problematic way to get the information again of you somewhere along the line realise that you probably should have been trying to listen.
