I think it is partly because FTC gets caught up in pursuing what the news media thinks is important and these "niche" segments aren't as newsworthy so they don't get the media's attention.

There's also a sort of an unsaid quid pro quo here. News media highlights things that it thinks are important and if the FTC chairs decide to act on those, news media praises them which, in the end, helps them get the recognition that they need for their future aspirations.
