FOSS is a doer-cracy. If you have a pain point, patch it, and it will go away.

It seems like you've only read this half-sentence before replying.

What you say is part of the problem. It leads to "patchwork software" without a clear vision.

Vision is overrated if it’s not solving users’ problems. Software with a vision is kinda the bane of the industry right now (macos tahoe, copilot, windows 11,…)

I find the experience not to be as straightforward as you imply, forking aside.
