You need more than one person tested to prove it works and 3,000 developers is fantasy for this. I worked in R&D for 30 years. Developing such a thing is trivial. Proving it works with suitable readability tests on carefully selected subjects is hard. Self selected people and self reported results are worthless.

Choice is good.
I always fear something hyped being foisted on people. Like so called "Modern Design" which is just a copy of corporate paper design and throws out over 30 years of GUI research for an appearance (Android, Windows 10 etc) with no evidence.
This can easily be replicated in a few days and done as plugin by one person who is familiar with writing plugins for the target system (Word, LO Writer, Sigil, Calibre, various Adobe tools). It's simple. But absolutely should only ever be an option. It's a gimmick to make money!
