For many it would be, but then you see people with a whole row of cabinets in their basement so it's not like they don't have the room for one showcase.

I think instead it's a combination of factors.
The first is that somewhat ironically playing on a Showcase cabinet doesn't feel that arcade-y.
You're standing so far back from the monitor it's like playing on your television at home.
The second is the stigma of the showcase cabinet being from a latter era of arcade gaming that some might be a bit elitist about. It's not an 80s style cabinet.
And the FGC association might hurt it too.

They're actually not that hard to move.
They come apart.
