My somewhat limited understanding is that coppicing or especially pollarding requires significantly more labor input. Modern timber harvesting is very highly industrialized. I have never seen any kind of machinery or industrial processes for managing a forest for coppice. I suspect that another factor may be density of a managed woodlot, but again I am not in the industry, just an owner of a small bit of “forest”, so my perception may be off.
