Same reasons that movies like Avatar make millions. The qualities that define a good piece of media generally cannot be appreciated by the masses, thus companies looking purely to make money will create fodder that consumers will throw their money at. Why grind the fodder into grain and make bread when you can just take the wheat and make more money off of it? (I know fodder isn't actually wheat, but it's a metaphor)

Dude, you don't need to explain the metaphor in the same comment :P
It was also a pretty easy metaphor to understand.
