I agree completely. When I was growing up we dashed out to buy bread and other chometz the same night yom tov was out.
On top of it all, many of the people I know are very carb conscious these days, and bread with every meal isn't the sine qua non it used to be.
We love our Pesach leftovers.
What's funny, though, is that my mother often said how much easier/tastier Pesach was here (in the US in the 50s and 60s), with the many fruits and vegetables available, than it had been back in Europe. There Pesach was all about potatoes, cabbage, and eggs.
