Yep, I agree. See, in my area, the great majority of women who ride are on the $200-400 comfort hybrids. Its a fresh air and sunshine stretch the legs kind of ride. I doubt that type of casual rider is going to buy a recumbant.

I'd love to try one out myself. It doesn't give the impression it gives a fast ride by its geometry but of course, I know those are my road bike prejudices and ingnorance of recumbants talking. How does it take climbs? That's another thing. They're still much of a mystery to the general cycling population... or at least to me They sure look comfortable.
