Maybe people were too scared of being labelled too stupid to get his "work"...Like in "The Emperor's new clothes" by Hans Christian Andersen.

"Plot summary

An emperor of a prosperous city who cares more about clothes than military pursuits or entertainment hires two swindlers who promise him the finest suit of clothes from the most beautiful cloth. This cloth, they tell him, is invisible to anyone who was either stupid or unfit for his position. The Emperor cannot see the (non-existent) cloth, but pretends that he can for fear of appearing stupid; his ministers do the same."
