I'm sure there are other factors involved, some regoinally dependent.
Besides the science of just the trees, there ARE other factors. Not everybody . . . in fact, maybe even the majority of private woodlot owners who pay for land, and pay taxes on it, do it JUST to harvest wood.
Some people like walking in the woods and like seeing trees. Some like seeing old growth (including me and my wife). Some people do it to promote wildlife. And, for that, you need some sickly trees as well as healthy. It's often a mixed bag of reasons why people own woodlots. Pleasure, hunting, peace and quiet, etc.
