Why do REI dislike or avoid life insurance?

As a real estate investor and financial advisor I usually understand the mindset of other investors. Individuals in real estate are usually more willing to take on risk which is often rewarded. I understand REI's usually deploy a large portion of their capital to advancing their real estate portfolio... but it seems like they dislike or do not understand life insurance. When I start to work with REI's I expect them to invest less of their income into traditional retirement accounts. I also expect them to find value in benefits like life insurance and disability, but that has not been my experience. Why is this?

I also understand disagreeing with the infinite banking concept Brandon has talked about with whole life insurance but it seems like the large majority avoid life insurance in general.

Those in the industry full time... help me understand! How can I better convey the idea to real estate investors?
