Not entirely sure, but a couple of thoughts.
Monoculture is a less well-known problem than pesticides for the general public. Its easier to rail against a problem that feels familiar than to teach a somewhat new idea and then discuss the dangers of it.
Additionally, a lot of people like the products of monoculture and the cheap, on-demand, readily-available food business that it enables. It would take a seismic shift for a lot of people to accept discoloration in their mcdonalds french fries, or tomatoes at walmart that aren't all perfectly spherical pinkish orbs.
