Don't make the mistake of thinking that we few enthusiasts on this and other like-forums are in any way representative of the general public when it comes to the Criterion Collection, and the high regard in which it is held.
You hit the nail right on the head here. It may be sad that the talent under the Criterion banner is not more widely recognized, but it is what it is.
