I also think a part of it is that compared to other acts Radiohead just doesn't play that many shows, they aren't embarking on these monster 30 date North American tours or 50+ date world tours.
Going back to 2010 it appears Radiohead has played
95 shows total worldwide in the last 6 years, which compared to acts like The Red Hot Chilli Peppers (
239) or Coldplay(
291) makes Radiohead shows relativity scarce.
