Essentially, most hydrogen has only a proton in its nucleus because it's made that way.
Among protons, neutrons, and electrons, the last of these is rather
unstable in isolation, decaying to a proton and an electron in a
half-life of about 20 minutes. (Neutrons do become stable when bound
into a nucleus.) So the initial atomic material in the Universe is
hydrogen-1, or protium, and everything else is built up from that. In
the large scheme of things most protium hasn't reacted yet.
