From my own experience, I would say: A combination of sheer laziness, the
heady distractions of real life, and most importantly, the tendency to end
up building new creations instead of photographing completed ones :-)
From talking with others, however, it seems that not a lot of people have
access to scanners or digital cameras, or if they do (and would have the
initiative to use them) they don't realise how straightforward it is to
create one's own free website at a place like Geocities or Fortune City or
Xoom (although I'm not quite sure whether the last one is actually free) and
whack the pictures there for the world to see.
My site is at (Yahoo-)Geocities, they give you 10 megabytes of space for
free and send you a fairly innocuous "newsletter" every couple of months.
It's easy to do, my site was up and running only ten minutes after the
account was created (but then I'm a Photoshop wizard ;-).
