Utah gives a nice WUE discount, and makes it pretty easy for students from non-WUE states to establish residency. I think the main thing that has kept it from becoming more popular is the LDS “stigma”, for lack of a better word.

I graduated HS in NJ 30 years ago and it was the same then, speaking from my anecdotal experience. Almost everyone I knew went out of state.
