We don't necessarily have access to those foods. Massed produced pork fat doesn't contain nearly as much as free range lard does. Many here don't eat oily fish (or take cod liver oil), or fish roe. Which leaves eggs and dairy. If dairy is defatted the vitamin containing portion of the milk is removed.
I'm not arguing for supplementation, just against the idea that vitamin D is somehow inherently problematic if not obtained through sunlight (which might have it's own drawbacks, as demonstrated by the lifeguards).
