why does no one play classical chess ?

i wonder why no one play classical chess.... I have to wait for 15 mins to play a classical match ....... -_-
Are you playing normal chess or are you playing a varient like KOTH or three check.
also what time control within classical are you using?
If you’re interested in classical chess I recommend joining Lone Wolf or Team league. Very well run and free leagues that play here using Slack for communication with a weekly game you schedule with your opponent each week. www.lichess4545.com/

Online has a harder time with longer time controls often seen in OTB events and clubs. However there are leagues out there, especially since the pandemic began, that offers OTB time control chess. You just might need to do a bit of searching. Casual queues may take you time to get paired with, people often have to plan to sit down for an hour or more at a time to play one chess game.

As already suggested, use the lobby and not the automatic challenges in the home page... not only you'll have far more choice of time controls, but you'll find an opponent pretty quickly.
It's boring (classical chess)
Sometimes opponent don't move or time burn
