Why does a constructed language (conlang) with a meticulously planned grammar and extensive lexicon sometimes fail to achieve widespread adoption, even with a dedicated community promoting it?

💡 Explanation

Prestige and social power, rather than linguistic merit, often determine language adoption. A conlang lacks established sociopolitical associations, and the perceived lack of real-world utility hinders its widespread use, because language adoption hinges on social dynamics; therefore, sociopolitical capital is key, rather than inherent linguistic features.
