Yes. You corrected a dyslexic. Well done.

That is more down to poor marketing. Here on Lemmy or reddit there are big open source communities where you can extol the values of it.

I never went with a software project from random scrolling. It has no value to me if it doesn’t meet a need I have right now.

No contributor is going to be good that doesn’t use it.

Why would it be? Software is good based on it’s use and recommendations from real folk, not *s. Many project not on github
