It is well known that it is a fairly small minority who actually does those things, and most of them will already be busy with one thing or another.
Starting a group is easy. Making it grow and become established requires a lot of work, and without someone doing that work, groups will generally fall apart fairly quickly.
My thought is more that not every group has to grow to be big or established. It's one thing if you're looking for a big, established group to rp with -- I absolutely agree with you there -- but surely not everyone struggling to find new storylines wants or needs that in their rp? Small groups of 2 (if that counts) to 5 people are relatively easy to put together and work through rp plots. Too, I've tied such micro groups to larger fcs, when necessary.
But yeah, the failure rate when doing that is higher then trying to integrate into something with a core of people, probably (chachan pointed that out in chat). That counts as a barrier to entry, too.
