I'm sure the "business hostile" spot-zoning/spot-enforcement/anti-development-NIMBY situation has nothing to do with the lack of available jobs, and the lack of paved roads and broadband is just one of the many "lifestyle comforts" that attract people to the island.

Business hostility by the perennially-Democrat government is a contributor, as are the backwards ways such as "Hawaii-Time", but one can't overlook that far more "laid-backers", many if not most with marginal job skills/motivations, are attracted to the "no-winter-for-me-Thank-you-very-much" climate of Paradise.
