In a way, it's for the same reason people don't think EVs or solar power will dominate. They look too much at what is currently happening or has happened in the (recent) past, and think that's how things will always be.
The HN types tend to be more informed about what's currently possible with technology and have a better understanding of where this can lead to in the future. "Normal" people don't have that going for them, so for them it's "strange" that you would say such things.
