Spam is the reason. Mail servers are easy to set up, it's all the crap you need to do to actually get your mail accepted that's hard.

In 16 years of running my own mail server(s) I have never done anything to "get my mail accepted", other than make sure relaying is turned off, which I think it is by default in just about every implementation since 1998.

Consider yourself lucky. I made the mistake of not setting up my email with OpenDKIM and virtually all of my mail went to spam for a few months.
