I understand why that’s the choice for most couples. I think there should be more incentives for adopting.

Isn’t it more expensive to adopt?

depends how you mean. A child is pretty cheap to conceive compared to the money needed to adopt, but will cost about as much over time. Plus american birthing costs are absurdly high.

Gazillions of years of evolutionary imperative

Not having the time, money and economic security to raise kids seem to do a good job at overriding that evolutionary imperative. Maybe it’s just not that much of an imperative? I mean, humans had to evolve that whole recreational sex thing to trick themselfs into fucking enough and as soon as you give them an option to have recreational sex without the side effect of tons of babies, they’re all like fuck yes gimme.
