Now you’re adding furthermore elaboration where none is needed, but removing the original connotation. And I remind you, this is my third language. https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/grammar/english-grammar-reference/will-would would is the past tense form of will. Because it is a past tense, it is used: to talk about the past to talk about hypotheses (when we imagine something) for politeness. It’s polite to use a “would” as it implies that “if you were asked”, which is the more polite way of asking. Maybe it’s because you only speak American, and not proper English? Have it your way — as we really need to calm you down somehow — do you identify as a conservative?
