I suspect that answer is related to they type of person that would purchase a depreciating asset (mobile home) while not purchasing the appreciating asset (land).

"Mobile" homes aren't mobile. They are designed to be towed to their home and then left there. See Piotrsko list of issues.
Then there is the cost. Do you think someone that doesn't have $500 for rent has this kind of cash?

If you’re staying relatively locally (within 50 miles), you should anticipate spending anywhere from $5,000 to $8,000 for the cost of acquiring permits, moving your home, and hooking up utilities for a single-wide. For a double-wide, under the same conditions, the number increases to the $10,000 to $13,000 range. As the distance increases, so does the cost.
