I think the cost of raisning the gangs is the biggest reason. If you desire to be a "super gang" then a ton of money is needed. Not everyone has the ability to stay online here for 18+ hours. to commit at least 4 crimes an hour to raise large amounts of cash and if you dont/cant/wont do that your gang will take a very long time to grow.

The other way to raise money is to donate large sums of RL money. if you cant/dont/wont do that either then you will see gangs that stop growing after 10-12 members or if they dont stop growing they will grow slowly.

It used to be that after 7-8 members most gangs just started a sister gang. now it is more beneficial to have more members so you are seeing the ones that can afford to expand their gansg expand them and the ones that can't are not expanding.
