Actually, the Hinckster claimed his McTemple concept was intended to bring temples to the many areas in the church that are remote, don't have a lot of members and won't experience much growth in the near future (his words, actually).
Instead, they're primarily built where there are many members in easily accessible and/or high-profile locations. He was right about the lack of growth, though, old cynical bastard.
Don't believe me? Just look at the map:
