When we activated Taproot, people were raving about it and tweeting by tagging miners when they would signal for it, yet 99% of the people had zero idea of what it would bring to the table. Today simpler soft forks don't get consensus. It's all about marketing, every single time.

I was heavily focussed on multisig wallets back around 2019 when Taproot was being designed and actively reviewed. Musig and being able to hide conditions seemed very useful for that. So the Taproot soft fork touched things very close to what I was working on already. I even launched an app called NthKey, which was a massive flop.
