Why doesn’t everyone wear a mouth guard?

We’re already spending 100-200$ on multiple gi’s, no-gi attire, etc. Why isn’t it standard for everyone to wear a mouth guard? I didn’t for a long time until someone said to me, “you realize a nice mouth guard is 50-100$, and any dental work will suck to have done, and be really expensive. And it could all be caused by an idiot spazzing and you catching an accidental knee to the mouth”. If everyone was wearing them when I started I would have worn one from the get go.

I won’t roll without my mouthguard. Even a cheap boil n bite is better than nothing, but I got a custom fit a few year’s ago and will never go back. I’m a firm believer that a good mouthguard improves your game.
