Probably a combination of the relatively short length (8.5 miles) and a conservative ridership forecast. The first phase is also a little bit light on residential density and employment centers, save for LAX. Traveling north towards Hollywood/Highland is a different story.
The Orange Line runs through similar terrain, but it travels almost 20 miles and benefits from a direct transfer to the heavy rail subway. The vast majority of people who disembark buses at North Hollywood walk across Lankershim Boulevard to the Red Line portal.
