That's pretty much because almost no big players trust the people behind the new chain/fork... If Satoshi Nakamoto would resurface and endorse a new fork, then something might happen, but that is more unlikely than winning grand prize in lottery four times in a row...

Though the core group rarely adopts the new chain...
