Because the K2 and Elecraft are not well-known outside
QRP circles.

YES.

Can't tell you how many times I've heard the
following from hams:

"Too bad Heath is gone. You can't build a modern,
full-featured rig anymore".

"Except for Ten Tec, all ham gear is Japanese"

"I love CW, but the inexpensive rigs aren't very 
good and the good CW rigs cost too much - 'specially
when you add the filters".

"I want to try QRP, but all those little rigs are CW only, have only one band, no features and so-so receivers"

And many more. WE know that none of the above are true,
but how about the rest of the amateur world?

eham is one way to spread the word, that's all.
