I don't think it's that Big6 hasn't responded to these genres (BTW, romance is also one of the most popular genres, print or eBook, and outnumbers science fiction/fantasy) but it's more of a genre that fans respond to on a direct level.
For example, literary fiction is a genre being pushed by the academe and "literary" imprints, but it's not honestly a thriving genre (at least as far as I've seen--feel free to correct me) in self-publishing, as opposed to Romance, Crime/Mystery, Science Fiction/Fantasy, etc.
