Harder to find than where? A number of the things you mention are limited simply by geography (snowboarding, bass fishing, etc.) I'd wager that you'll also find a decent amount of taco and bbq places compared, to say, Utica. There appears to be a number of Baptist churches in NYC according to google.
When I talk about LA, I'm speaking more generally about the county and its surrounding areas...There are mule rodeos around a half day's drive from LA. You are right that some culture typically requires lower population density, but you usually find some form of it in mega-cities due to emigration.
For your kind of things. In NYC, it's harder to find great snowboarding clubs, demolition derbies, Baptist churches, bass fishing, tacos, and BBQ places. I've been to a mule rodeo before. Haven't heard of something like that in LA.
Not all of those things are my bag of chips, but they're all "culture". Some "culture" either requires less population density or hasn't found a foothold in the coastal mega-cities for whatever reason.
