It's popular because it's a very smooth-flowing, harmonious, pretty game, each move coming so naturally in the characteristic Morphy-style of preferring development over material. It's like watching a Mike Tyson knockout where he's dodging all of his opponents punches and punching back with perfect timing. It's also a relatively simple game; you don't have to dig deep into variations in order to understand it, so it's pleasant to watch. I don't see why you have a bug up your bum about this. You're clearly somewhat knowledgeable about chess since you know some nomenclature -- "miniature", for example. So why the hate?
