Some people didn’t go, because they are still allergic to English & addicted to Yiddish.
Then some people didn’t go, because they are Availim or had Yohrzeit that day or/& evening, and knew they would not get the Omud for Mincha nor Ma’ariv.
Then some people have young children, and a babysitter until so late into the nite is very expensive, and hard to find.
