You may have heard the story about the mathematician looking for his car keys under a street light. A passer by asks him if he could point out more precisely where he dropped them. The mathematician points to a place tens of metres away and says "but I can't look over there, it's too dark."
The theories we have may not be worth the paper they are published on but they are quite definitely those theories which are most accessible.
[To be fair there are non-equilibrium theories of decision making accounting for bounded rationality -- they're just MUCH MUCH more difficult.]
