This does have to do with genetics. The NBA, filled with men players who are extremely more athletic makes the NBA very fun and exciting to watch. There is a huge demand for the game because of this.

The WNBA filled with female athletes who are shorter, slower, and overall less athletic generally makes for a much more boring game. Hence the demand is very low.

Genetics is what drives the supply and demand for the game. There is nothing the WNBA could ever do from a business standpoint to make the game as popular as the NBA game. That is of no fault to the players at all. It is just genetics. As I said before, it is not fair. But most things in life are not fair. That's just the way it is.

They could change the court dimensions/rim height to make the gameplay more similar to the men's game.

Wouldn't be as popular, but it'd be a start.
