Re commuter schools, it seems like the argument is just as strong in principle because the would-be organizer’s opportunity cost is proportionately lower. In practice, if that organizer is reading this post, there’s a good chance that they’re a a big-enough fish in a small-enough pond that they should focus on their individual development, so your point might hold nonetheless.
Maybe something that spans all the cruxes here is that there are just very low effort ways to run a group and capture a big part of the value. If no one else is doing it, it’s just very worth it to text the 3-4 interested people you know and substitute a group meeting for a general hang out once a month.
