First, unless you lost someone on 9/11 or in the conflicts that followed, you aren't emotionally connected. Hell, even the attendance at the services of remembrance in NYC have declined. I know several people who fought in the conflict/war, and they never mention 9/11 or their service unless specifically asked. For those directly impacted, it probably still is a recent event...for everyone else, it happened decades ago.
Second, most people think the ideas of our government being involved or hid evidence to protect a narrative are nothing more than conspiracy theories. Zogby did a specific survey and only 41% think the US government knew, before 9/11, the attacks were planned and didn't act to stop it. When asked if they concealed evidence, intentionally didn't investigate all leads or on any other way covered up...the majority said no. When asked about the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7...which was shown collapsing repeatedly on television...the majority weren't even aware of the collapse and 14% of those that were aware it collapsed think the committee was right in not investigating it. Lastly, when asked if another investigation is warranted or do they think 9/11 was thoroughly investigated, the majority think it was thoroughly investigated.
Put in a less flattering way, most people think you're wearing a tin foil hat when it comes to 9/11.
