There isn't really a clear explanation of why that would be the case. The bottom line is that smart contracts require a trusted oracle to feed data into the system, at that point, the advantages over a centralized system are essentially zero. There is no reason why anyone except enthusiasts, tinkerers and criminals would get involved.
