Because most normal people use a flight when they actually need to.

I regularly hear people say stuff like "I would like to take the train, but the flight was cheapest". "You know, i'd take the train, but with switching twice and 8 hours... and the flight was only a bit more expensive"

There is still a lot of convenience over actual need.

This varies from country to country, but over here a train trip is, in general, more expensive than a flight to the same destination by a significant factor
