I ask myself similar questions all the time about narrative topics.
For instance, when the Harry Potter series became so huge, I spent awhile pondering how it was that the structurally similar but far more sophisticated fantasy novels which obviously influenced it had gone nowhere. They continue to go nowhere, too; the HP crowd has no interest and no knowledge whatsoever.
