I think because, here, it's far more of an "organic, community-driven" thing, and the kind of people who actually drop books off there aren't quite so "woke-adjacent", at least last I checked...

Sometimes you do find gems, though, I do admit.
Interesting. No I've never seen one of those before. On the map it looks like there's some in my town but they're all inside buildings.
