I think because from a technology perspective it's only a 6-7. "Tech people" only find it mildly interesting at best. and let's face it devalues code and the skills of people that make it.
"tech money people"(VCs/Angels) find it interesting because it allows you to monetize something you couldn't before a protocol. Also, it's interesting because it lets you capture value from an economy as opposed to just a marketplace. (I'm calling an economy something where the rules aren't as rigid and controlled as much by a central authority versus an ebay or uber). ie Why some VCs are investing in it.
The open question is just because you monetize V1 or V2 of a protocol does it allow you to profit or does V1.2A split and you lose your shirt.
Plus, as with any new "tech" it's over hyped at best and a lot of fraud at worst.
And it's current best Use Cases "secret economies" aren't exactly something that's going to benefit society in general.
