Quite the opposite is true. JRPGs have far more acceptance today than they ever did back then. Barely anything was localized and ported back then - it was basically a miracle if something was.
Today nearly everything gets localized and there are far more JRPGs being made and sold across everything. The steps toward worldwide releases and the amount of games being developed compared to back then pretty much contradict every bit of bullshit you try to push here.
