RE:"In the case of Florida, if there were no insurance for the coastal areas, folks would not live there."

People would still take their chances. Banks would not be willing to loan. Prices would be only a fraction of what they are. People used to take their chances now they expect the government to bail them out.

RE:"Since about 80% of the population (WAG) lives within 10 miles of the coast"

Likely not true and also irrelevant. Coastal areas are designated by flood zone ratings. Usually they are less than 1/2 mile off the coasts. There are also low areas well off the coasts.
