The (lack of) economies of scale in GA are not the root cause though -
they are just one result of the root causes.

The main root cause is that 99% of humanity find being in the air a
frightening and unpleasant experience to varying degrees - from mild
anxiety at the one end to sheer terror at the other. Flying a light
aircraft will NEVER have mass appeal, even if you solved all the
infrastructure problems.

Flying is a very unnatural thing for humans to do - we are land
creatures. Only a few of us are weird enough that we are air creatures.
That will always be the case.
