At least for me, I just don't have the confidence. That, or I have an idea for an OCT but I can't draw. Not up against comic artists like Beanjamish, The-Alchemist's-Muse and Sincerely.

For me, it's that pressure to deliver under constraints and the fact I'm not a very gracious loser.
If I feel outmatched, even at all, I tend to get discouraged and not enter.

But I think pimping has a lot to do with it as well.
