If the demographics were there, e.g., high end expense accounts and big spenders, The Villages might have some high end restaurants.
Might just be so, I agree, but that is also making an assumption that those with what seems to be more income than the "average" Villager, will be willing to spend lots of money lots of times at said "high end" establishments. Wealthy or not, seniors can be quite frugal... ..and maybe spending lots of money for dining is one area where frugality shows up!
