For example in my area (Washington D.C.), Targets and Wal-Marts are heavily stocked with Infinity War wave 2 figures. That would be great if it were 2018 when this wave originally came out. But back then, I couldn't even find them at most brick & mortar places so I got them online. I'm guessing a lot of other serious collectors did the same. So now that the wave is back in stores, the hardcore collectors already have them and the casuals don't have a lot of interest in figures from a film from last year.

A lot of Wal-Marts in my area have the Cull Obsidian wave but also a ton of X-Men Warlock wave as well. And those were both arguably pretty good waves and selection of figures, but I guess unless you're living in @Dolemite's toy Utopian civilization where every figure is desired and always moves quickly to leave plenty of space for the next wave, it doesn't matter that the wave is deemed good or not. All the people who shop there simply don't need a disco Dazzler or the others and just want to buy the Jim Lee Cyclops.

But again, that's a problem with the majority of the waves, they all have slow movers, some more than others, and is not a sign that White Rabbit is objectively a terrible pick because she's likely one of the figures in the wave that will still hang there unsold after someone already quickly bought up the Vulture.
