Do you have a link for that assertion? I ask because Diego Garcia is by far the largest island in the archipelago and was presumably home to a fair number of inhabitants.

That is quite different to saying that they don't want to go to Diego Garcia when it is possible.

Or at least give the citizens of Morocco a chance to vote on the issue and Britain could then do likewise in Gib. Oh, I forgot we already have!
The Spanish have a word for this - Hipocresia

End the colonial outposts for everybody.
What is a colonial outpost when every American country was founded on colonialism, as well as Australia and New Zealand besides.
