Have you considered that perhaps ICANN has been beating the new gTLD drum for so long, the local community simply has other concerns?
Well, sure. ICANN's job is to manage the DNS root and to hand out IP space. People have all sorts of other concerns, but they're not what ICANN does. A more relevant question is why, in view of ICANN's extremely narrow job, it costs $100M/yr to do it.
