The first point is the one you're making, people can just find it on YouTube and learn to like academic music. To which if were the case, more people would like Bird.
The point I'm making (I hope lol) is that communities are being sucked dry financially and it effects things like the sense of community and education, amongst other things. I think that because of this, people don't have an appreciation for music. Instead people are exposed to increasingly cheaper and simpler music to the point that even hard bop sounds complicated and/or requires too much attention span.
Most people just work, fuck around on their phones, watch tv, dread going back to work, then repeat. Where does developing a broad musical palette fit into that? It doesn't. If you were left behind by our failing country, you'll likely never really enjoy jazz or classical.
