Maybe because RL research is not democratized enough to practionners. It is easier to study RL in a controlled environment like a video game (those 'elite researchers' are still not smart enough for real-world applications). So you remark means that more education about RL is needed, and OpenAI, alongside other institutions like FastAI or Startcrowd, is helping for this effort.
