It's mostly an American phenomenon. We don't have a way to recognize and glorify people who don't have lots of money. If you're not rich, you're shit and your work is shit, forget how good or useful it really is. You'll be spat on by some Persian with a chain of carpet stores and a pile of cash looted from the old Pahlavi regime.
It's not a great way to run a society, but so it goes.
