I think the issue with horror is that what people are frightened by is so subjective that it's hard to anticipate what your audience will like AND find scary. Horror in the written medium also tends to be more psychological, because you can't really do jump scares or visual frights. You have to build it up, which is hard to do and requires a certain level of writing ability. I can understand why most people don't feel up to tackling it.

That is the same for literally every genre ever???

Well, no, not necessarily to that extent. What people like about sci-fi and fantasy is a much broader field, for example. When it comes to horror, you're not just trying to figure out what people like or don't like, it's a far more visceral thing and much harder to anticipate.
