I think it's more so that people don't have the time for a productive garden. There are certain times of the year that my small garden becomes the workload equivalent to a part time job.
With composting, weeding, killing squash bugs, seeding, planting, harvesting, and pickling..... I can see why people opt to do something less time consuming.
