My thoughts are there it's not a popular idea, politically. In a lot of countries, getting money "for free" is seen badly by the people who are "working their asses off for barely surviving", and politics push more the idea that "non working people are costly" and instead "we should find a way to make them work" and UBI is seen as something that would make people "lazy".
