Because if you live in an apartment your only option for charging is to go to a charging location. You can't just plug it in overnight.
Which I can see as a big hurdle for a lot of people.
This was my biggest issue. I live in a townhouse with a carport-ish thingy, but the same issue applies.
Even Level 1 charging is pretty notable, means the vast majority of your daily miles still come from charging at home. This should be achievable if you have an outside plug and an outdoor extension cable.
Though, I suspect from your statement even that isn't possible due to ownership issues.
