Playing 9 was a double assist here in that it reduced the cost and reduce the play time as some folks complained golf took too long ...its how "ready play" and "while I 'm young" have become the golf mantra

That's my story and I'm sticking to it
Might create some gaps in the wave format, but I suppose the 9 holers could be spread out. On the other hand, if the course is fully booked with 18 hole rounds, why would they cut revenue by putting 9 hole play in the rotation?
