This is probably the biggest reason. Just isn't relatable to a mass audience anymore.
But space movies and flying superhumans and fantasy cartoon characters are relatable?
I just think that the Western has too much character development needed and nuance and not enough exploding buildings and flash to appeal to mindless audiences.
It's sad really... The Western is THE American movie genre.

I've spent a hell of a lot more time reading comic books and studying space than I've spent in rural America.
