Why else do you think Guile is popular even though he's the most boring character ever?

About the time when mindless, gullible idiots, without any kind of ability to form their own opinions, who believe everything commercials and reviews tell them without a question, became the majority.
Popularity either brings one of two things:
1. The creator realizes that they can now please the majority of their audience with mediocre material and dumb-down/put in less effort to their product to provide their new fans an easy and cheap thrill. At the same time, this alienates old fans who liked the more subtle and thoughtful way that the product portrayed its message.
2. The community of said popular thing is infested by people who have no respect or lack the proper knowledge to participate in the community and thus ruin the integrity of said community. This, in turn, spawns many other hacks who try to run with the same idea but solely focus on the new audience. These hacks often also try to claim that they were the harbinger of said style and totally ignore its origination.
I know, it sounds very hipster-like, but to be fair, it is consistently proven time and time again that these things almost always occur when something becomes extremely popular.
Anime is unpopular, therefor the question's statement is true.
