Firstly, Monero is more secure than Bitcoin taking per unit of network subsidy. Monero's hashrate is greatly more expensive when compared to Bitcoin due to the latter being overrun by cheap ASICs. This results in the effect of Monero being disproportionately secure, despite having a fraction of the hashrate and the network subsidy. But you are correct in the assessment that this is not related to the funding model, but rather the hashing algorithm's efficiency.
Furthermore, inflation or high fees is a false dichotomy for Monero. It is true for Bitcoin, since there is a cap to the transactions. If transaction fees were to replace the network subsidy, there is only a set amount of spots available to meet the demand. Now that is not a problem for Monero since block sizes can expand if the people so demand. Monero can have a higher security budget without inflation and without high fees. But Bitcoin has to choose between one.
>Need a greater price for more economic activity to settle on Monero faster. Plus price action would draw in more users, who would then be incentivized to use Monero for real economic activities.
Completely backwards. Market usage drives up the price, not speculation. This is false nu-maxi narrative since Bitcoin's price action has been overrun by speculation. What Monero needs is better utility, and that is happening. On-chain utility factors will improve with the introduction of Seraphis, and off-chain utility factors will explode 2024 with atomic swaps, DEXes, new wallets, node software, mining software and an overall better infrastructure to lean on. Monero's ecosystem and on-chain capacities will continue to improve with a mere 432 XMR per day getting mined and a bellow 1% yearly inflation. This is the orange-pill.

Surprised some of those links aren't included yet, but from what you've listed there are some that are already on the site:
- monero.how, Education -> tutorials
- moneromarket.io, Businesses -> Marketplaces
- monerosupplies.com, Businesses -> Monero Merchandise
- xmrstickers.com, Businesses -> Monero Merchandise
- moneropot.org, Businesses -> Gambling
- monerochan.art, Non-Profits -> Miscellaneous
- and xmr.llcoins.net is kinda listed under Utilities -> Address Verification -> "Cryptonote Address Tests"
As to adding one, I'd suggest the MCI
>https://monerocommunityindex.neocities.org/
I don't know if it's actively maintained, but either way it seems like a nice addition being next to two other neocities sites.

i love monero
