I think that one of the reasons for that is TV coverage. That is, 90% of the time all you get to see is JPM and TGF 'coz they're the ones that usually do something interesting - in their opinion. (No offence for Air Ralf and Mad Rubinho)
We get very little of the drivers from back the grid, and even when we do, it's usually just a slomo of something they did - overtaking, or some kind of incident. It's very rare to get, lets say, two minutes coverage of the battle for 11th position, even if some two guys are really racing, and the leading two are just cruising their way to the finish line.
