It's actually a common problem in lots of computing related research communities. Papers older than 10 years ago, sometimes even 5 years ago, are ignored. Because the results do not compare in terms of computing power, and because reimplementing old papers is often very hard because they are often too vague.
He published working models back then, the problem was compute power was very limited. In the past decade deep learning took off, people took his models, renamed then and ran them on vastly more powerful computers, to great success, then failed to cite him.
