It really isn't. Today's unpowered gliders are astoundingly capable compared to anything the Wright brothers lived to see, and that they're not suitable for replacing all of commercial aviation as it exists today should not be taken as a slight against them.

Most of it will need to be replaced by ground-based transport.
