RARakeffet blames the  unpopularity of Austritt on this phenomenon. RSRH,
later in life, lamented  how few of his own kehillah actually bought in.
The Gemeinde owned and  controlled the cemetary. We are a very mobile
society. But to people who  have generations of ancestors buried in the
same plot, the notion of  leaving the community and therefore being buried
elsewhere was a daunting  prospect.

I disagree. 
After all the O (and austritt)  communities in Hungary had the same
situation. They went ahead and created  hundreds of new O communities and
cemeteries.

In our long, tragic history, we Jews have traveled far from the burial  
places of our ancestors over and over and over again.
