The reason why it doesn't grow is because the people who listen to it don't expect it to. Thats a disgusting excuse IMO.

How condescending! Most people don't want to sit there analysing their music. Music is entertainment as much as it is art, or at least it should be.
Pop entertains people. It can do more than that but that's primarily what it's for and it's good at doing that. If people want a deeper musical experience then classical is probably more suited, but many people don't. And who's to criticise them for that?
The problem is some people
do want to listen to classical music but don't know how to appraoch it.
Many people seem to find the whole notion of "classical music" really scary. It's pulling down the barriers (and as I keep saying this is best done at a young age) that will prevent further ghettoisation of classical music, not being patronising about people's tastes or generalising about pop music.
