I don’t know much about Esperanto but my understanding is that it was supposed to be a “lingua franca” rather than replace actual languages? And it’s kind of advantageous to have one that’s no one ‘s native language, as opposed to using English which put s Anglophones in such a privileged position.

But obviously a nice idea doomed to fail, it would be hellishly hard to learn and pronounce for most East Asians, for instance.
