Can you imagine a city manager asking for more horse friendly roads in your city?Perhaps you just have very limited experience, or don't travel, or something, but in the last two major cities (1.5m+) I've lived in, yes, I can imagine that. And in the previous one, horse trials were being added all the time.
We build municipal skateboarding facilities all the time, and in the U.S., only 2% of people are into that. Ditto for frisbee golf, which is only 0.33% of Americans.
More to the point — What you describe is just an excuse for the whole "why bother" laziness and race to the bottom that's gotten the internet into the mess it's in today. "Good enough" almost never is.
