Until we moved here 5 years ago, I had never seen the yellow blinking left arrow when the main traffic light in red.

When the main traffic light in my direction is red, my instincts tell me that the light for the cross traffic must be green, so I am not going to pull out into the intersection. I will wait until I get a green left turn arrow.
Your instincts are wrong. It is okay to turn left on a flashing yellow light if no cars are coming. These are being intalloall over the country not just in The Villages and not just in Florida. See US Dept of Transportation.
