This is a very big misconception, and it comes from not understanding of what usability is.

Looking back on it, I really just wanted to incorporate the idea of an easy to use 'I don't get this' reply method/app for the users who find certain 'features' incomprehensible.

Unfortunately, there isn't a usability project interface for what I had in mind, and you don't want thousands of emails from newusers spamming dev lists with these types of problems. I think categorizing user problems in real time would have a tremendous value for dev teams however, and inherently address usablility issues.
