Because it is true that a large number of fly anglers do not consider salmon fishing at all. A great barrier is surely the distance and the associated high costs of reaching and actually purchasing the often limited licenses available to fish the 'holy' waters. A kind of distopy when thinking that only a hundred years ago, the massive salmon runs in the big rivers of central Europe made this fish so abundant to be considered as food for the indigent people. Sadly nowadays rivers damming and industrialization pollution have almost caused the extinction of the salmon in these rivers. Salmo salar has become a stranger to most anglers.
