These are far more likely assessments.

Volunteer need scales to fill available space for the most part. What good does FTA training do someone if an FTA already covers all events in the area and/or the only events in the area are ones you attend with your team? Replace "FTA" with almost every other position. There's likely a rough gap year, but any other issues with volunteering probably center around issues outside of a talent pool.
Venues can be shaky. I know Ontario isn't home to the mega-gyms you see even in places like Indiana.
Money is an odd complaint. There are startup costs, sure (like buying your own field perimeter, I think FIRST sells the electronics to you directly??? I need to read up) but regionals aren't what one would call a low cost solution.
