Why are WWII subsims popular and modern subsims not?

I know this might be already discussed here but I've just seen that there are already more posts in the Silent Hunter 5 main forum than here.
And Dangerous Water seems now to be at the end of its life cycle concerning attracting a considerable amount of new people and a successor might be never developed.

I really do not understand why WWII sims (in particular naval sims) are so much more popular than post-WWII.

The range of mission types/variety in DW is so much greater than - for example- in Silent Hunter. And is really the complexity the problem...with options like AutoCrew?

Is it just about the graphic/3D world?
