“It would be interesting to know how much this lack of enthusiasm for volunteerism can be attributed to the increasing insularity of individuals from society.”

I think this is a good point as well. Some of the headaches, like red-tape and fear of lawsuits, are probably related to the fact that many of us live in large communities where people don’t know, and therefore don’t trust, each other.
