Why is it so hard to book a Disney hotel?

In particular, Disney can't fill every resort room every night if there aren't enough housekeepers to turn them all over by check-in time. Insufficient dining capacity at restaurants and food courts likewise means Disney can't fully book all rooms at a resort without causing issues at peak meal times.
