I think the point is that even cities and countries that have traditionally hosted the games are backing out. A half-dozen European cities in places like Sweden and Austria have pulled out after losing plebiscites in recent years. Mature democracies with worrying public balance sheets (so pretty much all of them) don't want to host these things anymore. The cost is just too high relative to the benefit.
