I don’t really get why it’s eating up the public attention.

A number of reasons.

Trump screaming about it on social media is the big one.

National news just being "Hey, what's on Twitter? Let's talk about that. (Unless it's the Gaza Genocide written from the perspective of its victims)" on a loop every day.

Surprisingly high profile people getting arrested for just curiously poking at the bad work.
