Honestly, I can understand your view point (BL wasn't for everyone) but it is evident a large amount of people (fans and consumers) want more of his work.

The goal of his kickstarter campaign was to raise 400,000 in 32 days. He reached that goal in 8 hours! He was at the million mark by the end of the first day! He has 100's of contributors and avid fans, all of whom want more work from him.

I believe that the fascination comes from the unique quality of his work. Whilst not for everyone, all of his games are extremely unique and well-written. He is fact, working with Notch now. Tim is one of the few developers I feel doesn't feed me malarkey and lies like certain other companies do. I genuinely get the impression he is dedicated to his fans, and is in it not to make money, but to create his artistic vision. I remember seeing not to long ago a forum post in which he handed a handful of pre-order codes to people who wanted them. EA just sees dollar signs. To me, they are short sighted and perfectly willing to screw over their consumers for a quick buck. I do not believe their current business strategy includes "how to not be the worst company in the entire country".
