Openreach appear to favour rural areas because they are being subsidised to provide coverage there and in some cases the most efficient way is with FTTP. Rarely the case in urban areas due to higher population density, though there are some instances of it happening.

Smaller operators favour rural areas because it's expensive to dig through pavements and carriageways in urban ones, not to mention there's more competition there.

CRAWLEY TE/TRS/AMC SDCRWLY 71 FTTP

Is hardly rural, nor is a new fibre cabinet for exchange-only lines in Wilmslow and Selby. Where it makes sense Openreach do FTTP instead of FTTC. In fact the absolute cheapest areas in the country for FTTP to cover outside of MDUs are centralised villages.
