looks like you can „ask apple“ only if you are  "members of the Apple Developer 
Program or Apple Developer Enterprise Program“
furthermore topics are set to apples latest + shiniest
https://developer.apple.com/events/ask-apple/questions-and-answers/ 
<https://developer.apple.com/events/ask-apple/questions-and-answers/>

your proposed question is great: I would like to know how an open source 
project which relies on freely-shared plugins is supposed to exist on a 
platform that is making it harder on accessibility.
just apple doesn´t seem to provide a slot to ask it - they might have their 
reasons…

i could try to wrestle my institution into paying for a dev account, which i 
could open up to people like lucas.
another possibility would be a donated dev account - 100$ per year is like 2 
beers per month. drink less, have more code :-) 
would that even be allowed by apple?

best
