The default map will always be the main go to map for familiarity and I think Caribbean is played mostly by the same people every day without fail... being a small map, the games are over quickly allowing for more games per day.
Here's where I see the problem with players not trying other maps; mostly a fear of the unknown, "will there be special game-play that I will have to learn and others know well?", "I will have to learn the connectivity", "I will be unfamiliar with the territory names", "I won't know if this map will suit 6p Cap's" and a whole army of reasons why not to use other maps.
The premium maps have an excuse, they are unavailable to non-premium players to create and the majority of premium players are not as diverse as they'd like to believe they are. One player stands out as truly diverse in my eyes, momagajic, he creates and also accepts invites to every map, but I hear from most premium players time and time again, "I don't like this one". Some people base their choices on their perceived luck on that map.
