Mainstream SF readers? Maybe not.
But HARDCORE SF readers who are interested in the history and evolution of the genre? There's more of us than most people would realize.
Also, don't underestimate the appeal of even "dated" SF. Especially now that alternate histories are a sub-genre of their own.
And there's no telling what the future will bring in terms of genres and sub-genres. After all, by current standards one could conceivably (retroactively) label Verne as Steampunk.
