"fascinating challenge" != "publishable"
It's possible that any academic asked might have concluded that there wasn't a general publishable result to be had from this work and therefore that it wasn't worth doing. Just because something is interesting doesn't necessarily mean it is of any interest from a research perspective.
[NB I left academic research in CS for pretty much these reasons - I like interesting stuff].
