I think a lot of the vacation destination places are doing nothing but guided dives. They have to play to the lowest common denominational which is the OW diver who just completed certification right before they left on vacation and is not yet aware of how to properly navigate. They also have to cater to those who do not dive on a regular basis and therefor have rusty skills.
My local diving is the exact opposite. You only see DM's with training classes and if you have no navigation skills it's not terribly difficult to get lost in a quarry. You have to plan your own dive.
