I'd love if it was more popular!
Mighy try and make at home. Parfait ice cream is reasonably uncomplicated. Wonder if I should make it from dried apples.

It's probably not as common because other flavors are significantly more popular. Chocolate, vanilla, and berry flavors are staple flavors. There's only so much milk, production capacity, and retail shelf space to go around.
I've noticed, though, local ice cream shops are usually more willing to take a risk worth novelty flavors.
HEB?
Pure speculation on my part, but it's probably a safe guess to assume some market studies and/or trial runs they did on the flavor showed it wouldn't make enough profit. It's always about the money. I'm sure many people would buy it and enjoy it, but we are talking about corporations run by people with expensive college degrees in min-maxing everything for profit.
Maybe, but you definitely see more niche flavors like pistachio, coffee, mango, pineapple-coconut, rum raisin, etc. Hard to believe apple would be less popular, unless it's more expensive to make for some reason.
Maybe it's less popular because so many people buy ice cream to eat with actual apple pie, or some other kind of pie which might taste weird with apple pie flavors.
Jesus. So you expect companies to produce products that lose money?!
Or, do you expect them to remove more profitable products, which by definition are widely loved, from the limited shelf space and replace them with less profitable products, which by definition, fewer people enjoy? You'd fail running a lemonade stand.

Proprietary ice cream lmao
I came in thinking this was a dad joke sub..lol.. and was like wait .. this a not a punch line.. now we need to find a dad joke for this question..
I'm not sure if I'd personally like apple that much. I like apples and the flavor is refreshing and good, but I just don't think it'd fit ice cream of all things. Though, if I had one, I wouldn't be opposed to trying it and I'd rather try apple flavor than something gross lol
Artificial apple flavor is awful and that is what most companies would use.
Applesauce ice cream sounds foul.
