The reality is that most people invited don't care about security, but the
appearence of security. This was very explicit when the Brainpool guy was
complaining about Tanja Lange's article and blamed the problems with
standards on incompetent implementors.

Most people's data doesn't travel over FIPS mandated crypto. CFRG was
supposed to solve real world failures. NIST is trying to solve a marketing
problem.
