I'm not a physicist/astronomer so someone could give you a more detailed explanation. From what I understand, LIGO has been designed to detect collisions of mid-sized black holes, and it looks like those aren't that common.

There's also a more paper on this issue which you can find here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1704.04628.pdf
