people don't care
Most people don't care about the quality. I've noticed the opposite problem: When people get 16:9 TVs, they tend to display 4:3 pictures stretched out to fill the 16:9 because they want their "widescreen". Apparently watching a distorted picture is better than having those bars on the sides.
