I would submit 3 hypotheses:

1) maybe it’s not that easy to do, or at least the success rate is low.

3) it’s not really all that well known by the general population as a route to riches.
2 and 3. Not 1. Also as I posted before, constant outward shifting of the demand curve means increased supply won't reduce price.
