Why doesn't anyone talk about the 2016 World Chess Championship???

2016 World Chess Championship happened between Magnus Carlsen and Sergey Karjakin. I heard that Karjakin was up a game on Magnus at one point (the only one to ever lead him in a World Championship). Then. Magnus came back and won in tiebreaks. For a match that sounds really enjoyable, no one talks about it. Why is this???

Do people talk about past championships all that often?

It was a good championship though. IIRC, it was also the one where Karjakin missed a forced win, that would have sealed the championship for him, but the "miss" was a crazy permutation found by computer. The winning line required him to voluntarily trap his own knight to put Carlsen in a triangulation zugzwang. Really crazy, and fascinating!
