Again, even on the starships, there are limited number of holodecks and you see only the officers using them in general.

That's because the officers are the main characters, for the most part. It's generally implied that everyone on the ship gets at least some time in the holodeck. It's why you basically have to schedule your appointment rather than just stroll in whenever.

Again, our view of the universe is essentially warped because we're seeing a vast setting through a pinhole. Nearly every story we see is about one of a dozen or so people out of a crew of nearly 1000, on what is essentially one of the most elite flagships of the entire fleet, on their most "exciting" days (we don't get an entire episode to that one time Geordi La Forge took three days off to recover from space food poisoning where he spends most of the time on the toilet, or episodes where it takes them a week to get from one place to another and literally nothing else happens).

We never really see the show from the perspective of outsiders. Change your perspective and the entire context of the setting could change radically.
