While I am sure there are some exceptions, most attempts do NOT fall short. A lot of people do not realize that many homeschool parents never plan to homeschool the entire time. They plan to enroll their kids into an organized school after 1, 3, or 10 years of homeschooling - based on each individual circumstance. We chose to enroll our kids after their 8th grade year. We didn't "fall short". In public school, our kids (who are not exceptions - just normal kids) continued to excel in studies, sports, band, work and all other social aspects.

In the state of Florida, I have never heard of problems with accreditation - however, we are a "homeschool friendly" state. Our kids were placed in honors and AP programs when they started high school. They didn't have to "adjust to a learning environment" because they were always in one. One that allowed much more flexibility, creativity and opportunities for learning than most organized educational institutions.

Many of the points you make are characterizations that we heard when we first started homeschooling in 1993. I haven't found them to be true and doubt that the families of over 3 million kids currently homeschooling would find true either.
