I would completely agree that engaging with users on the scope of OSM and the main website is a good thing to do, I’m just not convinced this is a good way to do that.
Which brings me to my on topic “one feature you’d love to see or improved in the OpenStreetMap”: after 20 odd years or so, add text to the welcome popup to explain the purpose and scope of the website. I would note that I don’t believe this is a simple task, but that is why the CWG should think about it.
