Because far fewer people play instruments for which the exam route is
normal!

It worries me because it's almost impossible to do without setting a
curriculum with certain fixed styles, pieces etc. Within five years,
these styles and pieces become totally un-hip because they are in the exams.

I think the reason a lot of adult acoustic players don't touch nylon
string is because it's what was handed out at school for learning
guitar. They miss out of course.
