I feel like a common problem is people say they want to play D&D, but in the same way that people say they want to go to the gym, or take up weaving, or whatever. A lot of people are really bad at honestly, accurately, evaluating their future self's energy level and interest.

There's also people who say they'd totally like to join their D&D game, but they don't really. They're just afraid of conflict or hurting your feelings. There's this thing some people do where they try to spare someone's feelings by being a little dishonest, and end up causing a lot more problems. I would so much rather someone just say to my face "I don't want to play D&D" than "oh yeah that sounds fun" and then they keep having scheduling conflicts or flake or ghost.

So yeah, I don't know. Some people are just a mess.

In the same sense of wanting to go to the gym can be solved by watching videos of working out, or wanting to take up weaving can be satisfied by watching other people weaving. It may be enough for some people but it's not really the same thing.
