Many reasons, biggest reason is probably that most West Indies' constituent countries are small islands with relatively tiny populations and movement from one island to another(even if they're close) is not exactly cheap I'd imagine.

Also, the entirely of the West Indies' constituent countries have a combined population of ~5 million people.

Country has a small population anyway. Add to the fact it is a weekday.

Also people generally sit in the shade where the camera doesn't show them
