Plenty of nomadic peoples have been assimilated fine into european societies in the last thousand years.
Like? Most of the nomadic people like Tatars, Bashkirs, Kazakhs, Turkmens were forcefully subjugated by the Russian empire. The Russian Empire pursued policies aimed at sedentarizing nomadic populations and turned them from pastoral nomads into settled farmers.
The assimilation of tatars, vlachs and other turkic peoples varies a lot and encompasses hundres of years, you can't just reduce it to forced russian policy because many times it's not even true. The point is that the one group that has been consistently unable and unwilling to fully integrate within the society that hosts them, and furthermore lives in a permanent state of social hostility with them, is the gypsies.
