Small incremental changes are easier to make than big ones. It is also better to have many people reducing meat than just a few full vegans.

The word easier here is a choice. What is more comfortable is easier, but eating a plant based diet is very easy. It's cheaper and widely available in most countries. What you mean by easier really refers to more comfortable, not really to there being less physical obstacles

not really to there being less physical obstacles

Depends on availability. Plenty of eateries don't have vegan options and this is especially true for locations accommodating larger groups. Furthermore, a lot of vegans need supplements (as I've been told), which is also subject to availability.

Lastly, it's easier to convince a thousand people to eat less meat – especially since they usually already have the ingredients required for vegetarian food at home – than to skip meat alltogether.

Two thousand meals a week that turned vegetarian is a lot more impact than 70 meals turned vegan.

Maybe you are thinking of processed vegan food, like a vegan nugget or hamburger. That is completely unnecessary. beans, lentils, chickpeas, seaweed, grains, rice, vegetables, nuts.... those are widely available and enough for a healthy diet.

For the rest I agree, it's easier to convince an omnivore to go vegetarian than vegan. But that has to do with their will, not with actual physical limitations.
