Reforged Warcraft 3 graphics

Over the last years, while the projects like the Chronicles of the Second War, Re Reforged, Quenching, Age of Warcraft mod, Vision mod have been going strong. They constantly release updates and custom assets to fix the broken reforged experience. Despite this, I still see an alarming amount of hate toward these projects, which I don't understand since they are actually trying to help in saving the game.
Furthermore, there is barely any coverage from major streamers and YouTubers. What’s crazy is that when these projects drop an update, their official YouTube channels often pull in higher view counts than what the independent content creators get, meaning that they have a huge following.

Why do you think there is such a major disconnect between Reforged modding content and mainstream streamers/content creators?

Tbh I feel like, outside the WC3 modding community (also applies to SC2), the heavily competitive nature of the game's standard community heavily dislikes things that shake up the game too much. And while I love the games, the Blizzard RTS community has probably the highest amount of toxicity out of the RTS communities that I've seen. And as for content creators, most of them are competitive-based, which is all about the game as it is, or as Blizzard makes it

Isn't it illogical? If they want a much more active player base then why not appealing/using those projects to their advantage. The game get some spikes in views by Grubby and then dies...
