Many reasons. Younger family men just don't have the time. Budget is a consideration, three extra bodies to pay due to, uniforms, travel, etc. No way when baby needs shoes. Rituals are complicated to the point where history and lessons are lost on procedure. Boring and meaningless in this active day and age. And, since, in some states KT or 32nd degree are no longer required for Shrine membership, many just skip and go directly to Shrine membership. And, when I was younger (I'm now 76), in my 30s and 40s, the idea of spending an evening with 80 to 100 year old men was not my idea of excitement. Going to funerals twice a month is depressing. (I live in a retirement area and that is common)
