Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Old man shakes fist at clouds! Seriously though, the problem is that the Cathedral is a Utopian fantasy that has never once materialized in our timeline and the people who attempt to instantiate it invariably create something much, much worse than the Bazaar. It may look like it's made of stone, but those arches are made of painted poo. Sure, the Bazaar is ugly and even offensive to the refined eye of the great priesthood, but these things are almost always far more useful because they come from necessity, closer to the person with real needs.
