Only a minority actively participates. But it's for all the other reasons you mention yes.
And, unrelatedly, even though few actively participate that isn't the point. It is a motivational vehicle. And I repeatedly hear about this from folks who join and don't participate. That's perfectly fine with me.

However, as soon as you find a group that can join every week at the same time over Zoom, it's the best way to build community and enjoy the discussions.
