It is misguided, and such comparison wasn't made by any of official representatives, if that's what you imply. I only recall that decision to make a split between Red Foundation and core development team was influenced by Clojure business model, which is backed by Cognitect (correct me if I'm wrong).
Project has ambitious goals and strong, visionary roadmap. Perhaps too strong, as your comparison to TempleOS is slightly worrisome to me ;) Which tells me that current approach to marketing and overall pitching should be reconsidered...
However, I strongly disagree that Red is esoteric, and all technological advances with implemented features up to this point (covered in official blog) serve as a testament to it.
As for small community - risking to sound like a snob, I'll say that Red might not be for everyone, so as any other language - it pick you, not the other way around. Besides, this is still the early days for us, full of ups and downs, challenges and struggles. These things, they take time [1].
