That's because every other opera house is more ambitious. My only objection to the Otto Schenk production is that it stuck around for 20 years. There of course have been misfires by other many houses and stage directors when it comes to the Ring, but they helped pave the way for the Valencia Ring which brings us closer to Wagner's idea of "Total Artwork" (and productions like the Valencia Ring clearly pushed the Met's new Ring to feature multimedia, but they had no real understanding of how to utilize it).
