[Star Wars] Why did so many people choose to settle on a desert planet?

I assume most if not all of them are not native to a desert planet. Why would you choose to go there to begin with?

All the desert planets we see are pretty sparsely populated. There's a handful of people clustered around the space port and not much else. I'd be willing to bet the population basically exists to support the space port.
