Having multiple cars makes it hard to put lots of miles on just one, especially nice classics that arent daily driven or get driven in bad weather... plus northern states usually are stored 4-6 moths or more of the year... add to that doing work on them especially major engine rebuilds or paint etc....
On top of all that having a "normal" daily driver car for majority of errands or commutes to work makes the average classic car not see high miles... of course some do put higher miles on their cars in warmer climates with longer driving seasons or only 1 car or 1 driver, but I dont think thats the norm for most classics that live a garage queen fair weather only life.
Also some cars are low mile or rare originals that many people dont want to put high miles on for value or collector reasons.
When I only had 1 TA it got triple the ~1000 miles I do in a year, when I was younger had a TA as a daily driver, it saw 10k or more miles per year!
