because it doesn't change our understanding of the Universe in any significant way
It’s a shame, really. This is a very significant piece of the puzzle. It may be incremental progress but it’s still important. Nevertheless, your assessment has reminded me of an Alpha Centauri quote I’m rather fond of:
There are two kinds of scientific progress: the methodical experimentation and categorization which gradually extend the boundaries of knowledge, and the revolutionary leap of genius which redefines and transcends those boundaries. Acknowledging our debt to the former, we yearn nonetheless for the latter.
