Because most people are stupid-ass morons that don't have the slightest clue about punk - or good music in general since all of those bands are a bunch of pretty crappy pop-punk assholes anyway.
So, from what I've read you're also one of those "I don't give a shit about the attitude because only the same old popular goddamn bands are 'real punk' and everything else is just some stupid rip-off" people. Congrats to that, Mister.
I think you're right in that the original style of music (which wasn't really spectacular anyway) hasn't been very present in the past years but the 'spirit' or '(pseudo-)philosophy' or whatever you want to call is in no way dead. It just shiftet to some derivative genres such as Crust or Grindcore with many D.I.Y or pretty unknown though signed artists still proudly sporting that antiestablishment / antiauthoritarianist spirit you don't find in 'traditional punk' anymore (let alone 'girlie-I-style-my-hair-in-a-funny-nonconformist-way-top-of-the-pops-chart-punk' ).
