Props for trying, the software world needs something like this.

However, I don't see how this is not fundamentally just a Github feature. They don't have it now, but if Polar gets any traction, they'll implement it pretty swiftly and probably eat your lunch.

Does MS want to incentivize really professional polished open source?

This is such a no-brainer thing for GitHub to do, I've really wondered why they never did it.

It'd also be an obvious thing for Patreon to consider getting into, though it's maybe outside their core expertise.
