"Why do people not participate in governance?"

Goes to vote -> Two on-chain transactions to cast one vote.

Even though it's a rollup that's $1 per vote. So ~$5 on 10 onchain transactions just for signaling.

Can't ask this from the masses. Terrible UX and expensive.

We won't see governance participation like this.

To me this has never been a problem, since I also look at the tokens I get in an airdrop as a mean to also fund the cost or participating in governance and paying the fees that it costs. Selling 50 OP tokens should cover gas costs for quite some time.
