Plus squats kill me on Fridays and over the weekend and until Monday my thighs are killing me so it's hard to do those deadlifts on Monday because I feel it in my thighs and not my back.

The deadlift is only popular with people that really know what they are doing. That is why you don't see many people doing them at the Y as there probably not that many people there that know what they are doing.

At the local Y in my town most people are doing all their beach muscles getting ready for summer. There are very few people that I would call weightlifters or bodybuilders. Just because someone lifts weights every once in a while doesn't mean they are one of these.
