No, but then, McDonalds and Burger King are also very cheap compared to what most food critics would regard as "good" food. Most text MUDs are free, and thus competing on somewhat equal footing as regards the sacrifice (time/financial/etc) the player is expected to make in order to play the game.
There is a very strong correlation between # of votes and # of players in a MUD. It's hardly a perfect correlation, but I'm sure you'd agree that if we went down the list of MUDs on TMS and mapped votes to population, we'd see an indisputable trend whereby the MUDs with more votes have more players than the MUDs with less votes.
