Row houses maybe, but there's an adversity to condo fees which usually come along with every other source of housing. A lot of people want to feel like they own their home outright, so that once their mortgage is done being paid off, all they need to worry about is the hydro, water, and property taxes. There's a lot of stories about condo groups doubling condo fees that put others off those types of places.
I feel like every single family home has HOA dues, these days, so that comparison is kinda moot. Whether it's condo fees, HOA dues, or the local cartel extorting you for protection, you're gonna get nickel and dimed.

Narp. I wouldn't buy a house in a hoa ever again, and haven't had issues finding the last two I lived in (in both large and small markets).
