Next you're going to tell me all the mobile free-to-play games are clearly the best games ever because they're "popular". Popularity and quality have a very tentative relationship at the best of times. When differences in barriers to entry and network effects come in, then quality has to at most just clear a watermark. So I'd say it's probably more likely "not bad enough to lose popularity" than it is "so popular because it's so high-quality"
