Why doesn't polydactylism occur in everyone if it is a dominant trait?

Just because an allele is dominant does not mean that it is necessarily common.
How common a version of a gene is (i.e. its frequency in a population) depends on how it affects an organism's chance of surviving to reproduce. Natural selection may favor a recessive allele of one gene and a dominant allele of another.
