Honestly, this kind of game is the definition of niche. You want to play a better version of Masters of Orion 3 and Star Control 2? Who's lining up for that other than older gamers with disposable income and don't mind paying for a premium experience?

It's harder to sell this game to the masses... the niche is what keeps these companies running.

That's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Avernum was niche until the developer put his games on Steam and his revenue exploded.

Plus there's Endless Space as a good example for a space strategy game.
