I think you are over personalizing things. When you say “no one wants” you are basically talking about yourself and maybe a few of your friends. You have no other frames of reference than that.
While I have no interest in watching re-runs of “Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood” or “learning valuable life lessons” I am interested in good characters and interesting plot twists. I suppose it is the difference between being a mature reader and an immature one.
