Active studio monitors. Nobody has them. Why?

I'm referring to mainly GENELEC studio monitors, the world leader in today's recording studios. I don't see anything here about them. Why?

They're good enough for 80 to 90 percent of the world's top/major studios yet not good enough for us audiophiles? Do recording engineers/musicians and audiophiles have THAT varying degree of tastes? Why do you think?

After all, these are what the artists and engineers choose to CREATE the music as a reference. I would think they'd want us to hear their artistic INTENT? So why the huge gap between the music creators and the listeners?

Please help answer this burning question.

Thank you.

example of misconception:
Genelecs response curve designed for mastering, not for musical enjoyment

active monitor's curve can be adjusted in most cases.

some of active studio monitors may perfectly suit the audiophile demands on the wise budget.
