People who play with mods are a tiny-but-vocal minority. Most people just download the vanilla game and play with that. Even if the game supports Steam Workshop, most players won't even bother to look.

Enthusiasts are a pretty small segment of any customer base.

That depends on the effectiveness of the platform in integrating mods. DOTA was far more popular than normal Warcraft RTS games at its peak.
