I don't know, I don't have first-hand experience with riding Ti, but the OPs question was why isn't Ti more common.

FWIW I love my steel bikes but my aluminum gravel bike rides great (with quality tires), and at some point I hope to own carbon and Ti bikes. Or some other space-age material that they don't use yet.
