Without speculators there is not a liquid supply of counterparties for hedgers.

True, but I could live with that. The cost of the derivative would adjust to meet the supply-demand.

No. Many derivatives are already thinly traded with speculators in the market. Take the speculTor out and the majority of hedging instruments would cease to exist.
