That doesn't entirely characterize the whole story. First off, people should realize there are 4 LDS Temples (3 running, 1 being renovated) in the Salt Lake Valley. There are even more within a short drives distance (including two in Provo, UT, within walking distance of each other!). There is no shortage of Temples around Utah. Where there are large populations of similarly minded individuals, you will give them the amenities they want (and Mormon's want Temples).
Second, while only active members of the LDS Church in good standing can attend the Temple, anyone who can attend the Temple may attend any Temple within the Church at any time and for any reason. The Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple is not exclusive to Daybreak.
Finally, Temples are split into "Temple Districts" which is where most of the volunteers for running a Temple are selected from. The Oquirrh Mountain Temple District runs from Magna and the Salt Lake City International Airport in the North to Herriman and Bluffdale in the South. Daybreak is a tiny dot on that map. It serves a lot of people outside of Daybreak and is anything but exclusive.
Now, I can safely say I don't believe that people move to Daybreak because of quality but they also don't move there because the Church endorsed it. They move there because of good, old fashioned, marketing. Daybreak has huge signs all over the place offering "affording living with amazing amenities". They send out mailers and even people door to door inviting whole neighborhoods to come to open houses, have a BBQ in Daybreak, enjoy the lake and pools, shopping, and entertainment. It's all very enticing. But that's all it is, marketing.
