Terrorism, threat and weak governance is major reason for most of country, not to get VISA free travel. Other reason when allowing VISA free entry to a country is population. For Example.. if country give VISA free entry to India, China, Brazil etc then it's hard to control flux of population, which may come from these country. Better way is to control people coming from these nations in form of VISA.
