I'm on Balmung, so my experience may be different.
I think people's preferences are extremely personal, so it's hard for me to judge why someone would gravitate more toward 'lawful' characters, so to speak - but in all honesty, I don't see it too often. Yes, there is an abundance of decent folks being played, but I also see a lot of characters who are likely closer to the 'neutral' side of the spectrum. Criminals in general, I agree, tend to be rare - but perhaps folks are just uncomfortable playing them. Crime isn't really a positive thing IRL, and the focus tends to be on the heroic types in fiction.
Personally, I find that more neutral/morally fluid characters tend to get the most opportunities for RP, so that may also be a factor.
That said, I don't think there should be balance. People should RP what is fun to them, and if that means everyone is a goody or everyone is a baddy, then so be it. If everyone wants to be lawful good and someone tries to enforce a balance, it means some people will have to be something else - and will not be happy about it. No point, then.
