That's part of the problem, but it's also a bit more work to add an obscure coin. It can be hard to find current source code, active nodes, and sometimes once you fully sync it turns out the state of the blockchain (eg mining rewards, difficulty) isn't what you expected. Some of the older coins with larger blockchains and 'stale' source can also end up being real resource hogs. Running 40+ coin daemons concurrently does present some challenges.
