At least in Europe, the Esperanto community is large enough, with frequent enough events or everyday interaction at the main organizations’ offices, that some Esperantists even spend a substantial portion of their year among it, so your assertion that Esperanto has no community of speakers is false. I say that not to defend Esperanto; I myself ultimately left the Esperanto movement because I found this community to be a bit too demanding of one’s fealty and, in a sense, cult-like. And this community of active speakers who meet in person is definitely small, but it nonetheless exists. The rest of your post I broadly agree with.
