Possibly because it never really went anywhere.
That is, no neohellenic speaking countries in the
way we have all the Romance languages. Also, most
people who are aware of Greek are aware of
Classical Greek, not Koine; and anyway, it's all
written foreign. ;) I always thought it (and
Sanskrit,etc.) should be taught in Roman letters.
The only people that _really_ need to read the
native letters are those interested in reading
texts at first hand. It's kind of unfair that
only Latin isn't taught in its own script.
