No one talks about horizontal shmups anymore, not even in retro gaming communities. What happened?

I've messed around with a few bullet hells, but I don't understand their seemingly universal appeal. At all. It's almost a completely different genre from games like Gradius or R-Type, but it somehow simultaneously replaces those games in shmup circles.

R-Type. It has a particularly dark atmosphere compared to most shooters. Humanity creates a terrible biological weapon and then abandons it in space. The weapon then self-replicates and comes back to kill and / or inseminate humans.
