I would be one of those people (in some, not all cases) - if for no other reasons than because A) Waking life memories can be forgotten, B) Nowhere it is said that the 'lucid' (dreaming) mind is physiologically analogous to the conscious mind in the waking world, so the two can't be assumed to operate with the same level of clarity/retention, and C) the simple act of being lucid tends to lose a bit of its 'importance', after years of experience. It becomes less about "OMFG I'M LUCID! WOOHOO!" and more along the lines of "Hmm...oh, this is a dream. Cool. What should I do now."

Also, it's often not a matter of 'not wanting to hear otherwise.' It's a matter of people having a genuinely different opinion, which - as much as some other people might not like to hear it - is probably correct.
