Voice Type Ratio

Why are tenors so disproportionately common in this subreddit? In real life the average male voice lies somewhere around high baritone and low tenor, and whichever is more common depends on where in the world you look. But both are still almost equal in how common they are. So how come tenors seem to be roughly 90% of male voices in r/singing?

While it may be as simple as them being able to hit higher notes than other untrained singers (and therefore they "can sing" ((because high singer good singer logic)) and end up here, while lower voices don't end up here or even try to get better because they struggle with the high notes in pop songs and think they therefore "can't sing"), it still feels like that doesn't fully explain why there's so many of them. Am I missing something?
