Philadelphia is another of the rare counterexamples, as the zoning there allows new row houses and townhouses almost everywhere.

Philly is an old city. It probably already had townhomes everywhere, and would benefit from allowing further stages of density.
I don’t think townhouses are anywhere near as rare as you’re letting on. I’ve can’t recall the last time I haven’t seen them in any decent-sized (50k+) city.
