My experience is that most of the men I’ve talked to who are into self-help have at least passing familiarity with the pickup community, and have read at least one book on it. But no one wants to say so and everyone plays dumb. For similar reasons, most of the PUA product sales are eBooks and DVDs(that you don’t have to be seen reading/watching and can purchase seperately).
I think one of the things you’re seeing is not a lack of desire/demand for consumption, but a lack of desire to advertise that consumption.
