I wonder why that might be? <<
Probably because most people aren't comfortable with the sound of it. Folk music - pretty much however it's defined - sounds nothing like the commercial product we're all brought up on.
I doubt if it's anything to do with the legendary curmudgeons cited on the other thread. They impinge on the imagination of the populace at large not one iota.
