Rangers can dish out pretty respectable DPS, track better than anyone in the game, root park adds like a champ, single pull outdoors, DS, and snare runners. Flame lick is an extremely OP snap aggro spell, and even untwinked Rangers can tank group content pretty well if you have a slower.
The problem is the vast majority of players in-game want specialists: specialist tanks and specialist DPS classes. Not generalists with moderate DPS. Add to that the hybrid penalty stigma, and the fact that at any given time there's a million and a half Monks asking to fill a group's last DPS slot, and you have a shitload of permanently LFG Rangers.
