1. The other option, of course, is to import someone.

A lot of Incel guys take that route. Trump, Vance, like that.

3. Most incels are sad, acne-spotted, neckbearded, unemployable young men

who reside in their parents' basements where they can look at porn and post on men's rights blogs their misogynistic remarks and complaints about how they can't get laid. Not very many of them can make even enough money to buy a $20 blowjob in a back alley, assuming they can even drag themselves out of the basement for that long. They'd rather wallow in rage and resentment than actually make the effort to figure out what it might take, besides money, to get a woman to want to get within 100 yards of them.

6. That's true. However, I suspect there are "virtual" incels

even among the wealthy. Even though they can manage to find partners, they still have the same lousy internal assessment of themselves that other incels do. It's just a difference in the ability to get laid. the psychology remains the same.

8. All incels are misogynists but not all misogynists are incels.

Incels simultaneously desire women and hate them; and the reason they hate women is that they feel entitled to the favors of the most attractive ones, who reject them. They think women have too much power in the with respect to sexual and romantic relationships, and they are ruining these sad little men's lives by rejecting them. But those desirable women don't want pimply neckbeards with offensive attitudes. And incels also hate the attractive men who are able to win the favors of the attractive women they want.

Misogynists who are not incels are the men who are usually able to find women to have sex with despite their misogyny. They are physically attractive (or not overtly repulsive), and/or they are financially or professionally successful enough that women are not disgusted by them, at least at first meeting. They are often married or have girlfriends (or both). They don't necessarily hate women, though some do; at least they regard them as inferior. Their misogyny is exhibited in various ways - by using women only for sexual gratification or "arm candy," by cheating on or abusing their partners, or by treating all women as generally less than. Trump is clearly a non-incel misogynist. Vance, however, is kind of borderline - despite the fact that he's married and has children, he looks like and has the affect of incelness; it would be easy to believe that he lives in his parents' basement and surfs porn, and even that he has carnal knowledge of upholstered furniture.
