Because to make a proper cheese sauce you need to make a proper roux, and idk who you think is teaching the average person to do that.
That is certainly not common knowledge today, and I doubt it has ever been common knowledge your everyday person would know. Nor is it easy to do for the inexperienced cook.
Though I think most Americans would be happy with Sodium Citrate if they knew about it

Used to be that parents and grandparents would teach the kids how to cook something a bit fancier for a holiday.
But we’re all too atomized and busy and politically polarized these days for that.
Yeah and many have.
I can make Chicken Parmesan with our family recipe sauce, and a proper lasagna. With coffee cake for dessert.
I sill was never taught how to make a roux. And I come from a family that home cooked meals every night.
I learned how via YouTube, and I still can’t do it without fucking up 50% of the time.
the cheese sauce i make is great and its roux is very improper.
