A lot of the areas are "moderated" by only a few moderators. They don't seem interested in promoting all their areas, and some aren't even that active at all...
Maybe if you (or anyone else) see an area that is currently more or less empty but are interested in promoting, you should ask the current moderator if you could take over the area?
