You sell what moves. Right now, people aren't buying as many screens larger than 50". When the economy picks up, screens will increase.
By the way, the LEDs are still expensive, but they're coming closer to the elusive deep-black levels that Panasonic Kuras achieve. In direct, side-by-side comparisons, most folks at electronics shows couldn't tell the difference in PQ between a Pioneer Kura Elite plasma and a Sony XBR8 with LED backlighting. The thing is, for these two top-of-the-line sets, you pay about $5,000 for a 50" model. They're not exactly flying off the shelves. But I think both technologies will come down in price by half within the next few years, and obviously we'll see better and better TVs.

It may also be a matter of where the sets are sold. Remember, most people still buy their televisions from Wal-Mart and Target-type stores, which don't normally sell the bigger or more exotic kinds of sets. They handle just the stuff that moves the fastest.
