Avoiding the coasts would reduce their hurricane risk exposure, but wouldn’t reduce their out of control litigation (roof scam) exposure. And insurers don’t want more customers than they know what to do with in any given geographical area, that does not add uncorrelated risk which diversifies their overall book of business.
