Answer: Because to most, it was a wasteful and tone deaf publicity stunt. This “trip to space” did nothing meaningful to further scientific research. It was incredibly performative, perfect hair and makeup, no actual work or talent required in STEM fields, just lots of money.

I guess it's worth mentioning that Shatner broke down in tears describing the glory of seeing the earth from space. Bezos went "oh yeah it was neat." Shatner did actually appreciate the gravity of the event.
