If Audiophiles care about sound, then why so few threads on acoustics

I thought of "improving" the room, started looking up what could be done simply, realized it will be some work/time, and got bored with thinking about it. I did not consider cost as the factor, but it seemed it would add up quickly. That was before I saw millercarbon's recommendation about Corning. Which will be my first choice once I decide to proceed. Until then, it is pure lack of willingness to invest time and effort while accepting the sound is way worse than it could be.

Cable threads are more popular because it allows for more "electrical conspiracy" theories and "being smart". Not to mention fanboy threads dedicated to whole (and small) companies producing magic. Acoustics of the room is not disputable, not much to argue and outsmart the other guy about.

I have room acoustics covered use Stillpoint panels the best by far.Had tube traps ASC years ago dumped them for Stillpoints big upgrade.

This is an excellent question.  I've suggested on a number of occasions that people who are dealing with room issues (or dissatisfaction with pretty good systems) invest the time and effort required to measure and interpret room acoustics using REW and use those measurements as guidance in treating their rooms.  I'm skeptical that I've actually convinced a single person to do so other than my son, who heard the difference with his own ears.  

I was late to the room treatment party myself.  In my case, I had no clue how much difference speaker and listening position alone could make, much less addition of bass traps and absorption panels.  So the first obstacle for me was ignorance of what was possible.

The second obstacle was the time it took to learn what to do and how to do it.   My retirement home has a dedicated listening room, but the room had a bunch of problems from suboptimal dimension ratios to flooring that was resonating badly.   Had I not been retired, there is simply no way that I could have afforded the time investment to sort all this out.   Even so, I've done my work in 4 phases over 5 years and I am still not done, although I am getting close.  Initial work afforded modest returns because I didn't know enough to get the biggest bang for the buck.   I'm guessing some people may buy a trap or two and don't do enough to make an appreciable difference so they give up.

Many audiophiles have more money than time, so time is subject to triage.  Spending money on the next cable or tonearm is less painful than investing 100 hours of free time in getting the room right.   

Perhaps, because it’s such a personal specific subject, it doesn’t lend itself to much general discussion. The interaction of specific speakers in specific room dimensions, with specific furnishings and materials at specific listening positions overall becomes, well too specific.
  While I agree that it’s very important, I some times wonder that without specific measurements, that hap-hazard room treatments can sometimes do more harm than good?
