No conclusive evidence, but the figures suggested that grabbed my attention was;
“>75% of all student pilots quit before completing the private license, and that >75% of all PPLs quit flying within five years of becoming licensed.”

Low-level flying – agreed. It is amazing just how more difficult it is to navigate VFR at 500’. I recollect about 1 hour devoted to it in my PPL, which was an eye-opener. You get to do about another hour in the IMC rating on bad weather circuits (500’) - which are loads of fun - and another good reason to do the IMC.
