"why this hobby may die...." (or, not die - and instead be taken over by rude people and idiots.) I don't mean to dilute your dramatic title, but I don't think it's going to die because your daughter couldn't find 2nd gear.
This is a microcosm of the whole world; more and more rude folks everywhere.
I am in several other organizations where the old folks are dying off and we cannot seem to attract the younger ones. The Colt Collectors Association, the Texas Gun Collectors Association, the National Skeet Shooting Association, the Winchester Collectors Association, as examples. For one thing, there are not a lot of young folks who can afford an old tractor, a 3/4-ton pick-up and an equipment trailer.
Everything has its day it seems - including marriage - based on some recent posts I've seen here on the forum. I don't like it and I wish it wasn't so, but the only thing I've been able to do is try to ignore it and go on with my own life and values, or get out of the way. Try not to have a stroke; and, good luck. I sympathize with you. mike
