It's because Buddhist and any "eastern" practices in specific are marketed as self help courses in the west. What monks spend decades to achieve Americans package and sell as a 200$ online course to try and "solve" everything. It's so prevalent that Buddhists call it McMindfulness. I really get disheartened by the misrepresentation of such a rich tradition done in the name of capital.
