Why don't cardrooms spread NL smaller than $1/2?

Why don't they spread $0.50/1 NL or smaller? It is just because of less rake? Maybe the $0.50/1 NL would not run as slow as 1/2 NL...

The rakes/BBJ for a 1/2 NLHE are significant but good players can still make money. If they spread a .5/1 NLHE game then the RAKE would remain the same and be a KILLER!. The rakes would approach 20% per pot.

Think about it, dealers still have to be paid. The floormen, chip runners, and managers still need to get paid. The floor space must generate the same revenue for the casino or be in danger of being taken over by slot machines. Plus I think .5/1 players would not like paying a 20% rake each hand.....
