I agree with your point, and safer technology, if available, should make its way into the market. But on the other hand, people are more willing to pay for something if the benefit outweighs the cost. Looking at their site[1] (their $400 saw out yet), and you can tell why their saws aren't more ubiquitous: their cheapest saw is $1300. A somewhat equivalent (I am not super familiar with important metrics about saws, but looking at amps and saw blade diameter (15A, 10")) table saw made by a more recognizable manufacturer (Ridgid) is already $400. Here is a link to a /r/woodworking thread about SawStop saws [3] (albeit 3 years old). I think that they would be the target audience for the saws more so than many of us.
