You still need thousands and thousands of dollars for a decent Sim racing setup, a stable internet connection, and a room to do it from.

Sure, it's not formula racing, but there are still massive barriers to entry for sim racing.

True but it’s at least an order of magnitude less money to do the e-sport than the real one
True and, further, those costs are almost the same whether you race for 1 hour or 1000 hours in the sim-world. Definitely not the case in the real-world racing series.
