It’s probably more about how often it’s visible in your part of the world than it happening at all if I had to guess.

How is the next transit of Venus not until 2117? That blows my socks’ mind. Seems like that should be happening very regularly.

Same reasons for any eclipses :
.1- plane of orbits (the one for Venus and the one for the Earth) do not exactly coincide and
.2- because distances between objects are much larger than objects, including size of the sun.

I believe you. Still seems wild that I will never see another one in my lifetime.
