. . . or is it that they are so much more work that people don't bother?

Hardly.  The beauty of biscuit joinery is the amount of time you save, even over a plain butt joint.  It makes the joint automatically self-registering, so you can just spread the glue and go.  You don't even have to glue in the bisquit pockets; just slather a little on the biscuit itself.

For me, it's a life saver for complicated box assemblies with a fast glue like T3 - I don't have to spend all those seconds getting everything registered.

I think the main stopper for regular guys is getting the biscuit machine.

Aloha,
