Now I know I'm making a broadsweeping generalization but except for old-school players and those few who like some "meat on the bone" in their rpg rules, the modern audience seems to have no interest in taking play to that level.

So true, so very, very true.
It seems to me anyone under 30 is that way inclined, having for the most part grown up with computer games where the majority of the back end admin is handled by the program itself. If they can't tap a button or two and have all the work done for them, they're not interested.
I have a hard enough time getting players to actually read the basic game rules let alone handle even the most minimal logistics and admin!
