I guess it's not about "Fixing" but also expanding

small example: I use a extension to my gnome panel called "SSH Menu"

I can add hosts which it opens me a ssh session in a terminal just by clicking on the menu entry.

now I wanted to expand that to include RDP Sessions - okay - took the code, and have it rewritten. so that IS actually an advantage! and I did not have to consult the developers at all, I just checked out the code

Sure, this is very possible with open source, and it's certainly one of the advantages - nonetheless, most open source users still do not make use of this possibility. Which is why it is mostly an illusion.
