[Mock-up] App Payments by Tobias Bernard
Actually, come to think of it, I would definitely agree that elementaryOS was a pioneer here. They were the first to have a platform library (Granite) with easy to use, advanced widgets for app creators to use. And they implemented the ability to buy software. Both of those things definitely helped the fact that elementaryOS has an unusually-large amount of custom software written for it, by passionate users.

Any Granite UI Kit?
Nop, but you have Granite Demo to check the diferente componentes.

Trying to build elementary-code on pop_os - compiling error
It built without errors here, using the master branch. I also built latest granite, the only difference from the instructions is that I prefer to install things to /usr/local to avoid problems when updating:

Is it possible to install Code (elementary os text editor) on zorin os lite 32 bit
If that's the case, you can also install Granite from source. Go to https://github.com/elementary/granite/releases and download the latest release there, unzip it, open a terminal in the unzipped folder and install each of Granite's dependencies from Granite's README file by doing sudo apt install (e.g. sudo apt install meson)

Created this script so I can take a nap during the compilation
https://github.com/elementary/terminal notifies you when a process completes and the terminal is not the active window. I implemented this feature way back in... 2014 or so. I'm surprised it has seen little uptake in other terminals, but I can't imagine working with long-running processes without it nowadays.

Is Linux Actually becoming More Popular?
Some terminals have that feature built-in (I think its called 'natural copy and paste'). For example, this one has it.

Make terminal change it's theme according to the system theme in elementaryOS 6.
This is planned and just needs some design work and then to be implemented. The current code for style schemes I'm Terminal and Code both are pretty complicated to support arbitrary styles under the hood, so it will also likely need some rewriting of that whole system. You can see a previous attempt at it from me here, though a more experienced desktop developer could probably clean it up a lot: https://github.com/elementary/terminal/pull/546

Discussion: Terminal's color palette wouldn't pass Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 for color contrast for text legibility. Should the palette change to improve legibility?
Although it doesn't fully resolve the problem you explained, there is a PR for custom palettes -- https://github.com/elementary/terminal/pull/542 -- but it doesn't seem to have been merged into the mainline at all, likely due to the upcoming dark mode stuff in elementaryOS 6.0.

One PR a month: February and March
One of the things I like about elementary is the care taken with UX. For instance, for less experienced users pasting random commands in the terminal is a sensitive operation, specially if these commands involve administrative privileges. For this reason, elementary's terminal app shows a warning when the user pastes commands involving sudo or with newlines.

Padding around text in terminal?
This is actually something we're addressing in Terminal for elementary OS 6. You can check this pull request to see our discussion and the end result: https://github.com/elementary/terminal/pull/527
