When I hear people complaining about this sort of thing, I want to say, “Just go and invent your own, then.”

But then you get things like Esperanto. Esperanto takes about 1/4 of the time to learn compared to other languages. It’s taught in China and used as primary language in some settings. But, aside from a large number of people learning some Esperanto from Duolingo several years ago, it’s just another language now to have to learn.
