Why is transmission fluid impossible to buy?

I went out today looking to get a couple gallons to do a fluid/filter change. NOBODY carries ATF+4. Autozone only carries 1 quart bottles and every time I go in there for some (my trans and transfer case both have slight leaks) they never have more than like 2 or 3 bottles in stock. O'Reilly only carries Royal Purple in-store for $15/ quart. Screw that. Nobody else around here even carries it. At all.
I can't figure out WTF anyone with a Chrysler product does around here, unless they all go to the dealership. I'm beginning to suspect the reason Chrysler has such a reputation for crap transmissions isn't because they're crap, but because nobody can ever change or add fluid to the things. I drove 20 minutes to the nearest Farm & Fleet which has like 10 shelves in a 6 foot section dedicated to nothing but transmission fluid for any motorized vehicle you could ever imagine, unless you own a Dodge. It was mind boggling.
I know I can (and probably will) order it online, but that's kind of an issue if I ever suddenly find myself needing some in a hurry.
