I hope the answer is not one of those "idiot plot" situations where, in order for the plot to work, everyone has to be an idiot. Assuming that is not a massive oversight on the part of the author, I guess however Beast Titan/Zeke can transform villagers into Titans is a process that only works on, like, a stationary group, or he has to be amongst them for him to, I do not know, spray them with his ACME Titan Spray®

But. . . one of the "problems" I have had with the series is that the Shifters have been fighting the humans with sometimes both hands tied behind their backs. Collosal Titan breaks a wall, Armored Titan breaks another, lets in Titans. . . and. . . then. . . what? Even Beast Titan/Zeke is just picking off a few humans as if it is some sort of game. Given the Reiss Family and "hierarchy" basically working to keep the reality of Titans secret from everyone--"like, you know, how we got these walls!"--I have suspected that some parts of "They"--Shifters and Ruling Class/Hierarchy--are working together to keep down the number of humans.
