Whole turkey is a seasonal item. This is a big country and the considerations of shipping and other economics are a big factor. . The fresh are generally heritage smaller operation farm raised and are special orders so the butcher or general market does not end up with too few or too many. Plus the generic big frozen ones are "loss leader" at holidays.. Often buy "x" amount of groceries and they practically give it away.
