Yes!
+1.
I like it! Quite ambitious!
That is exactly what was on the openSUSE wiki frontpage for years.
It was bad then, and it's even worse now, because "usable" is either just an empty phrase that can mean whatever anyone wants it to mean, or it means "Aunt Tillie distro" - which we have spent months establishing is a bad fit for openSUSE and doesn't reflect reality.
There's also "create" and "distribute" in the sentence, which makes a lot of difference for me. For example, the openSUSE build service makes it easy to distribute. And of course, it is a helper for development, knowing how your project compiles on other distributions. The "world's most usable Linux" is something that depends on the users look at it. I, as a user, see the whole phrase as something like: "Ok, they want to be usable, even for my grandma, and by the same time create something new, innovative, and maintain it !". And actually, that's the distribution I am looking for, both from the POV of a user or a developer.
