The point of the argument is for amateur's radio to grow

Nothing new about that! Amateur radio has always had to compete with
other pastimes ... TV, video games, baseball, stamp collecting, chasing
girls (boys), skateboarding, fishing, .....

It's not an "either/or" deal. I have many pastimes .... amateur radio
doesn't get tossed out the window because I gain some other new
interest.

Your point doesn't hold water.
