Facehugger, you're clearly a troll, so as such I'll be extremely brief because you don't really deserve the attention... BUT...
Hans Zimmer's popularity with is not an opinion and absolutely a verifiable phenomenon. Album sales are all the proof anyone needs that he strikes a chord with the moviegoing public... and his scores consistently chart in the Billboard Top 100, a major feat for a film score by any stretch.
And that's all you're gonna get from me. Enjoy the underside of your bridge.
Whatever since you clearly lack the ability of logic reasoning.
Ever thought audience could flood to buy a soundtrack because they like the film it associates with, even though they don't give a rat's ass about the actual music? No? Ever wonder why Zimmer's "The Bible" does not sell as much as MOS? Clearly such question is above you.
And really convenient by calling anyone disagreeing with you a troll. With that positive attitude, soon you can solve the puzzle of "why Zimmer got the job you want (and you didn't, sadly)".
Actually, in this case, MattB is right. Zimmer is immensely popular. Ignoring your flawed sales argument, he has almost 1.2 million followers on Facebook. That is concrete, tangible proof of his verifiable popularity amongst the general public.

I look at it this way.
When a person starts getting into film scores, more often than not they will also eventually get into classical music. Many times it's also the other way around. Anyway, when this happens, the person's musical palette starts on a journey of discovery and expansion... artistic education, if you like.
Inevitably, the ear gets sophisticated pretty fast and soon they find that the things they were drawn to as a neophyte, while still maintaining a position of nostalgic affection, will often get left to the side for the more challenging things to come.
If someone's affection for Zimmer eventually results in their discovery of, say, Shostakovich or Rachmaninoff, then so much the better.
So all is not lost, as long as there are instances where the ends justify the means.

What impresses YOR the most about Hamzimmer is how he was not worried to try to get better all these years.
His scores are all the same and are getting even worse ("Man of Steel" comes to mind - Tyler Bates would create something better than that).
Even Oingoboingo got better with time. Probably went to school to learn more about music.
But Hamz? No. He is so good that he does not need to get better.
Just keep doing the same crap all over again untill the day Jerry Buckshaimmer or Bore Verbinskly dies...
Well, why should he get worried? His facebook page has more followers than John Williams'! That is the ultimate proof that he is great!

Tyler Bates is better than Hamzimmer.
And YOR cannot think on a worst composer that Tyler Bates...

"The Rock"... yeah, YOR remember that crap.
It was when all this Hamzimmer nonsese begun...
BTW, a friend of YOR's, who is not a movie music lover, said the same thing about "Inception" score.
"The movie is ok, but what the hell was that annoying music??"
Yes.
