The 70's was stereo's time. People where persuaded to buy stereo systems by the marketing and the need to keep up with the Joneses. Did they really care about quality sound? Not necessarily.Today's marketing trend is big screen, HD TV. This is what people care about because the Best Buy ads and what their buddies are buying. Sound a very secondary consideration; if they have an extra grand or so, they put it into a bigger screen, not better sound.
Sure, they want say they have 5.1, 6.1, 7.1 sound, but if they can get that from "Home theatre in a box", that's good enough.
