I suspect the requirements may have something to do with it.

100 hours command (>5x restricted RAA license, more than a level 1
gliding instructor)
Club committee approval
Requires blessing of CFI every year

This still means you have to belong to a training club (else you would
have no CFI), so scratch the "get a few qualified friends, buy a 2nd
hand glider and launch from a winch" approach.

Cheers,

Al
