Eh, note how the public don't really know directors on producer-led films where the director is a hired hand, if they don't have a name already. Same on TV, where directors easily circulate each episode, and even famous ones disappear into the overall production. The credits don't do much in these cases. E.g. I know who Alfonso Cuarón is, but thankfully forgot who's the director on the extreme bore-fest of the first two Potter films and the other guy on the featureless last half-dozen films.
