Physics is serious science, seriously. Most students take one physics class in high school, and then move on to, well, anything but physics. This isn’t because physics isn’t interesting — it undeniably is — but it is hard and studying physics early requires that you are a self-starter. There aren’t often many options for exploring it in a structured classroom setting while in high school. This means that high school students interested in a physics major in college tend to have heavily explored physics beyond the courses offered.
