We've landed a probe on a comet. As far as most news organisations are concerned that's the new bar for public interest. Sticking something on an asteroid is obviously simple by comparison therefore not noteworthy.

Which is bollocks because this is going to do some brilliant science if it all comes off as planned.

Also: top backronyming.
