Because making a lightsaber costs $250 per person and kids need to be supervised. So that experience is $500 at a minimum, and good luck if you have more than one kid. Most visitors do not have any children, and it's because Disney has priced out families (not to mention the disaster that is the fast-pass system).

For anyone curious to learn more about the fast-pass system, or who just wants to watch an awesome Defunctland video:

Plus the whole, "it's in Florida and who wants to drag a kid through that shithole of a state and hear the complaints about the heat?"

To be fair, I wouldn't want to have a kid handle a lightsaber unsupervised. One wrong button push and they are a goner.

On the flip side you can save a lot of money when remodelling your house so it seems worth it.
