A number of reasons.
1) The typical NYC apartment barely has room for a bed, let alone a bed and a desk.
2) Many people feel they work better outside of the house;
3) In many urban areas, people commute away from their house (on the outskirts of a city) and are in the city doing various tasks during the day. It's easier to step into a coffee shop to check e-mail than it is to go all the way home.
I don't think it's about the price of internet service, it's about the convenience for the user.
