It also has to do with what you want to accomplish. If I am shooting from a static position for accuracy then I still like to use a more traditional stance that relies on skeletal support. The forward grips work for me in more 3-gun/IDPA type shooting (close and fast). I think one reason people don't appreciate them more is if you are shooting from a firing line at a non-mobile target 100yds or more away, they aren't really that useful.... Especially if it is a range where there is a restriction on the firing rate.
