> which I believe might be the main reason why all conlangs from the past 100 years have failed to reach widespread adoption Given how much people hate learning much more basic things—new programming languages, new operating systems, new tools—it seems hard to come to any conclusion about conlangs based on popularity! Languages are hard to learn, have immense cultural significance and are dominated by network effects. The potential advantages of a constructed language are, at best, illegible. What would push anybody to learn a brand new language well enough to actually use it? Whether or not a language becomes popular tells us little to nothing about the language itself.
