Because there is a quota maximum per year of 65000 visas that can be issued in the sibling visa category and there are 2.1 million people in the queue ahead of you. The wait is not equal for all countries though as there is a per-country limit per year as well.

15 to 20 years from now.  No matter how creative you get, you cannot jump the line.

No, because there needs to be a visa number available to you to do that. The visa number availability depends on when the petition was filed, so you cannot jump the queue that way, the wait is 15-20 years regardless whether you do it from a home country embassy or from inside the US. A visitor visa gives you max 6 months which obviously isn’t anywhere near long enough to wait for a visa number to be available to you. And if you overstay at all - ever - you can never adjust status for a sibling visa, even if you are in status on a subsequent visit.

Yes it is, on the other hand the US is probably the only country in the world that allows siblings to sponsor permanent resident visas. So that’s what people do, they wait.

Yep.  But you're lucky in that the US even has sibling visas for citizens as a category.  Similar countries do not.

Yes, it is long, but you can be born in and live your whole life in some countries and can never become a citizen.

Like me and all my siblings.

We are all now Canadian and American.

Generally, also traveling to the US on a tourist visa with the intent to adjust is considered fraud.

I live in Colombia right now. I have a 3 year investment visa. It was not easy to get. Here you have to have a visa, otherwise you will never get a national ID card. Yes in most countries you will have a national ID card.

It’s faster to look at the jobs in demand and study one of those if possible.  It seems time consuming and expensive but is faster in the end.
