That and most people refuse to use them, rent them own them. It's like buying a brand new, 1970 Chevy Impala. Automatic transmission & AM radio ... all the new features!
Was told by a reputable source, that 90% of Yamaha's gasoline golf cart production in the USA, goes to TV. No one else wants them.

Yes,
Look at gas stations.
On Top of the World (or another community) may have 10,000 homes, or maybe 5,000 to 7,000 golf carts.
Whereas Villages has 50,000/60,000/70,000 golf carts - 10x as many. There are more golf cars to support a gas station within the golf car cart paths.
This article says Villages has 65,000, and the 2nd largest in GA has 12,000

Think of a high end country club.
They get gas delivered to their maintenance facilities (for mowers, etc); but that is often hidden from members - the delivery truck can come any time.
Imagine a gas truck coming to a private club at 11:30 AM, when the members are fully utilizing the club, not going to work. Then think of the kids working in the cart barn, want them filling up 100 golf cars or plugging them in at night?
