Tyranny of the minority. Best example is the "S.P.A.C.E. Special-Use" (which persists despite the original complainants having moved off-island).
It would be cheaper for everyone if the subdivisions were grandfathered in-place, and the current infrastructure (or lack thereof) made a required disclosure for all real-estate transactions.
The current situation is like buying a house near the airport, then complaining about how noisy it is, and starting a campaign to have the airport shut down. Seriously, if you didn't want to live next to the airport (or on a dusty unpaved road, or outside the broadband service area, etc), why did you buy a house there?
