Personally, Stops are more accessible and more plentiful for me than Gyms.

Apart from the one a two-minute walk from my house and the one I was able to finish the 'battle in 2 raids' assignment for the story at, I've never actually spent time at a gym location. I've only been able to use their Pokestop functions in passing.

The aforementioned is also the only gym in my neighborhood. Whereas I've got three stops walking to my local grocery store and two at local walkable parks (one of them is also one of the three grocery store stops).
And that's just to my knowledge.
