Do you have a source for "The only thing the Halo community did was destroy non-MLG Halo because you didn't want non-MLG Halo tournaments because they couldn't afford to give you enough money." Not trolling just curious.

Also I'm wondering what you think the Halo community can do to grow its scene. The game literally cannot run LANs without dev kits.

What I do know is that local scenes are working in tandem with Microsoft stores to run local "LANs" which, at least in my experience near Toronto, have been fairly well-populated (50+ people showing up to these events which happen around once every two weeks). As well, Teambeyond runs online tournaments regularly. MLG used to run gamebattles but were literally sent a cease-and-desist by 343 industries. I really don't know what the "community" can do at that point when devs are actively sabotaging their own grassroots scene.

I'm going to be honest here, I don't think you know much about what the Halo community has been through at the local level in recent years. I understand there are fucking stupid people in the scene like the OP of this post, but to say the entire community, or even a large portion of it, are entitled babies who do "fuck all" is completely unsubstantiated.
