Why is Pixel Dungeon so underrated (self.pixeldungeon)

Why is Pixel Dungeon so underground? To me, it seems basically like a turn-based souls game. I am playing this game for 2 years now (The OG Pixel Dungeon) and i still find new content, like its infinite.

I'd guess a lot of people never play it because it seems too simple/boring. Those that do stick with it thinking it IS a simple game might get overwhelmed with resource management and optimizing their character and upgrades based on class and starting conditions. You have to rely on the wiki or a lot of trial and error and that can make people quit.
