The fact of E-M fields affecting the motion of mass, in preference to or in addition to gravitation, is anathema. To hint at any role of E-M in the large-scale evolution of the universe is a good way to eliminate any possibility of a research grant. Probably this is just because the people deciding don't want to be obliged to learn how to evaluate whether the research program makes any sense. So, plasma fluid dynamics work normally is studied only at the scale of an individual planet or star, or at most a galaxy. SOFIA, the telescope carried in a Boeing 747, lost its funding in part because mainstream astronomers found its unique capability of mapping magnetic polarization uninteresting.
