I could be wrong, but I think you're misreading the point here. It's that we should Incubate more Simples in more languages, not that we need a Simple Incubator...

"No, Absolutely not."
Eh? "No, Absolutely not." to what precisely? You say incubator should be
a
phase for projects? I said simple should incubate for even larger languages. Where is the "No, Absolutely not." directed at?

This is quite an interesting thought. The language used by Simple English is (apparently) derived from two defined "simplified
versions"
of English which were deliberately designed - have there been
projects
to do the same for, say, French or Spanish, or would we have to do
the
heavy lifting ourselves?
My attempt at a constructive contribution to this thread would be to suggest that every Simple Wikipedia language, no matter large or small, should start at a Simple Incubator. The incubator seems a proven concept (it has delivered live babies, yes?).
To me it seems a no-brainer that Simple Communities in every language would only activate a sub-set of their languages community, and this implies to me that as such the community could do with bootstrapping in the fashion that incubators do.
