I think, roughly, the blame goes out to Fisher and anyone else who promoted the "Recipe for Understanding the World" style statistics. It's not that people are being blocked by their understanding of complex frequentist methods but instead the idea that they don't need to understand anything more because statistics is just a black box you use for verification. Insert results, get a green or red "significance" light, move on.
