Science, like all good endeavors, relies heavily on marketing (how else will others know when something is worthwhile). This means their funding is largely determined by what people are interested in, which gets funneled back to their sponsors.
They, in turn, feel compelled to uphold this veneer for the sake of good appearances to continue to keep that sweet federal money pouring.
Unfortunately, many black nameless birds on the brink of extinction, due to not looking pretty in our eyes, gets last place in the popularity contest.
