Personally, the thing that probably keeps most people from learning Lojban is the same thing that keeps them from learning nay other language, natural or artificial.  That is vocabulary.  Adults need a couple thousand words of vocabulary in order to comfortably talk about the things that they want to talk about, or maybe a lot more, and learning a couple of thousand words is HARD for most people.  No simplification of grammar is going to eliminate that problem.

That is precisely my difficulties with Lojban. The grammar is easy as π, but I'm still learning the actual vocab. I'll admit to being somewhat lazy on the learning of it, but I'd say at this point I know ~1/4 of the gismu and cmavo, a smattering of non-jvajvo lujvo, maybe a couple fu'ivla, and a very few of the experimental words like zo'oi.
