The way i read it : Our theoretical framework, allowing matter creation (*) provides a possible origin for the universe (without the need of a Big Bang). Also this is quite timely in the actual context of new observations made by the James Webb space telescope that are in tention with classical models.
(*)(after an hypothetical inflatory period, […or at any time as long as the universe expands…])

i like that you were looking for a mechanism to avoid thermal death of the universe.
As for my inspiration : since many years I have read about discrepancies between standard model (including the big Bang) versus observations and I came to believe (with many confirmations as the year goes by) that our current cosmology is incomplete or wrong.
Well, yes, I agree with you.
