First blush, there is less money to be made in attention management than in attention kidnapping.

I think that's a huge factor. And, related to it: platform capitalism. I've now started exploring four or five ideas only to realize, "oh, I can't do this, the exposed APIs seem almost perfectly designed to make my solution as fragile as possible."

P.S. I also think this was a historical accident. I think the most vivid and engaging media and content came *after* something like a point of no return, where platforms realized they could capture attention. It didn't *need* to be that way though.
