I wonder if they think its too far from home and that they can return once the conflict is over or something along those lines.

I was kind of surprised when I saw that stat too. But at the same time, it makes sense. No matter how awesome a new country sounds, home will always be home. It's literally on the other side of the world. They might have heard how harsh winter can be. And it can be pretty expensive to live here.

They acknowledged many refugees in camps are still hoping they might return to Syria or want to remain in the region.

To move to literally the other side of the world as far away from friends and family as you can get and likely never seen any of them again, that would be pretty hard to digest.
