Probably because it has less protection than PayPal goods and services. CashApp is a big one also.
With Zelle, once the money is sent, it is gone forever. Your bank will just laugh at you and hang up if you ask for help
I had some used furniture for sale on a local for sale site and it clearly stated cash only.
Had two people wanting to use Zele and when I said cash only they disappeared.
Finally a buyer showed up with a $100 bill and 5 $20's and off they went with the furniture.

mostly if you don't want zelle they say paypal friends and family only even if you discount for fees
the weird part i have had people as buyers or sellers only want to deal with Zelle?
If someone wants to pay you using Zelle I would accept it no questions. They buyer is the one who has to worry because as soon as the money transfers in, it is a done deal.
Zelle so you land like a gwirl with hiv, avoid at all cost.
i didn't accept a zelle payment because i never signed up for an account, wasn't sure what type of process it was
Cash is king,period.
I hadn't heard of Zelle until someone wanted to pay me with it recently. Found this on Wikipedia:
Zelle is a United States–based digital payments network owned by Early Warning Services, LLC, a private financial services company owned by the banks Bank of America, Truist, Capital One, JPMorgan Chase, PNC Bank, U.S. Bank, and Wells Fargo.
i guess its better to be the seller if using zelle, at least according to this thread, i still will only use Paypal for protection both ways
ill take a personal check or cash or uspo money order.. your choice.
and send it out when the money has cleared. or if i personally feel you are honest then i take the risk as my decision.
anyone doing business on line with a stranger that doesnt have a brick and mortar store where you can go and walk in, takes a great risk and if screwed its mostly or all their own fault.

I see not very often, buy once in while. PayPal has worked OK.
But for year I took or sent checks because did not do PayPal.

checks and the other can take quite a bit of time, which i did in ebay early days but i have done 600 transactions with paypal with only a few hiccups
Well young people grew up with computers, technology, PayPal, so try hem jump on board fast.
Old people grew up with cash, coins, bank books, paper n pencils, phone books, and pay phones.
So we like old school, many embrace new ideas slow.
I don't even own a cell phone LOL
Here in Canada it's been EMT(Electronic Money Transfer by interact) that's become popular as its direct payment from bank account to bank account and very low fees or none depending on your account. But you really need to do you homework on who you buying from . It's become the go to way when buying and selling firearms as PayPal will steal your money and lock your account if they find out its being used in a firearm sale. The others like Zelle have similar policies I believe.
It's 2022!
