Is there a reason why the Mazda 2 DE seems so much more common than the DJ?

Hey everyone,
I’ve noticed lately that the Mazda 2 DE (2nd gen) seems to be everywhere, while the DJ generation (3rd gen) is surprisingly rare by comparison.
This got me wondering: are there objective or factual reasons why people deliberately choose the older DE model over the DJ? Is it just a matter of price and market availability, or are there specific technical advantages, reliability quirks, or weight/handling reasons that make the DE the preferred choice for many?
I recently got a 2018 Mazda 2 DJ myself, and seeing so many DEs on the road almost makes me second-guess my decision. Did I miss something, or did I make a mistake going with the DJ?
Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences with both generations!
