If a user wants to use a piece of software to do A and several different pieces of code do that - why should they choose yours.

If I'm writing FOSS and someone asked me that, I'd just reply with ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm not making money from it, so trying to convince some random individual to use it is a waste of my time. Sure, I'll describe the features in the README and possibly include comparisons to other software, but I won't go out of my way to convince a specific rando just because they asked.
