Mucilage is not produced in large quantities because it serves a specific purpose for the plant, such as water retention, seed germination, or defense against predators. Producing excessive amounts of mucilage would be energetically costly for the plant without providing significant benefits.

Why is mucilage never made in large quantities?

Mucilage is typically produced in small quantities by plants and microorganisms as a means of adaptation to their environment, such as aiding in water retention and seed germination. Its production is energetically costly, and large-scale synthesis could lead to resource depletion and increased vulnerability to pathogens. Additionally, the specific conditions required for mucilage formation, such as humidity and nutrient availability, limit its large-scale production in nature.

What is mucilage?

Mucilage is a term used for glue. Though that is probably the more commonly known usage, it also refers to a plant protein. In fact, the use as a term for glue came from the use of plant polysaccharides to make the glue. Mucilage is, itself, a polysaccharide (but necessarily the only one used to make the glue), hence the adaptation of its name to adhesives made from plant gum. Wikipedia has more information, and a link is provided.
