All this arguing about story is such a misfire on why touhou doesn't spread that much. Amongst normies its at best known as a infamous bullet hell with lots of characters. Tell them to just play the game and they'll have to ask which one, and it all goes to shit from there. The average person wont dedicate their time to get through the average game, and even if they finish a game they still have a lot of others to go through to even get a introduction of some characters.
Semi related, but touhou also lacks watchability. Youtubers and Twitch are big on introducing games to people, and touhou isn't interesting to watch or get reactions from streamers.
