Oct 18, 2021 at 18:44 comment added Tim Campion By the way the category-theoretic term is dense. That is, you're asking whether the solvable groups are dense among all groups, or among some restricted subcategory thereof.
Oct 18, 2021 at 18:41 comment added Tim Campion Sylow subgroups are solvable, and finite groups are in some sense "controlled" by their Sylow subgroups, right? So it seems reasonable to guess that maybe you get a positive answer for finite groups. In any event, if you keep track of the whole groupoid of homomorphisms from each solvable group to $G$, then you probably get much closer to a positive answer -- but maybe that's cheating?
