It doesn't even matter howe calorie dense the food is as long as you severely limit carbs. A slice of pizza is about 107g and has about 285 calories. A stick of butter is about 133g and has 810 calories. See if you can eat as many sticks of butter as you can slices of pizza.
High fat / low carb foods are very hard to eat in large quantities, unless you pair them with sources of carbs (put the butter on bread, add BBQ sauce to fatty meat, etc). It's not just the caloric density, it's how much of it you can eat before you feel full.

People just generally don't want to do the hard slog (i.e. in permanently avoiding sugar and carbs), they want the short term 'fix,' hence 'dieting.'
