Good point. I think it's because nobody appreciates the absence of illness until they're sick. In the same vein (so to speak), when given a vaccination, the use of a modern triaxially ground hypodermic needle would only be appreciated if they were shown the rusty hollow nail they used to use for injections and phlebotomy.
