Because the abstract style has actively pushed out other styles. The great majority of people in art museums will see nothing beautiful in the post-WWII sections. When 90% of people find 90% of what is lauded as "high art" worthless, of course there is controversy, or more accurately, anger at what is being pushed on them.
