The problem with pools mainly resides with parents of small children, for safety reasons. We have many reasonably priced membership swim/tennis clubs in the community where the kids can spend the whole day under lifeguard supervision. The other problem is that many people like the chance to design their own pool, if they want one. Some older pools tend to look their age, unfortunately. Houses that have indoor pools can be a challenge to sell, too. I listed one once....finally sold it to a lobbyist. It was a great house, and the pool was situated in a way that did NOT increase the home's indoor humidity level during sweltering DC summers and stink up the whole house with chlorine fumes, which some do. The pool also opened up on two sides to the outdoors during warm months via gigantic sliding glass panels, so it was the best of both worlds.
