There are enough people who do accept it that there are also people who take the trouble to contradict it.
My explanation could be an example, if somehow it got picked up and run on the top of the page on Drudge Report, with headlines, "The Beast's Identity Revealed", then you would see people posting on the internet with funds provided through various front organizations, refuting the claims and coming up with all sorts of counter explanations, not wanting people to understand the true nature of the wars supposedly being fought to liberate the people from "the evils of Islam" or whatever.
The same thing happened in the Protestant Reformation where the Protestants used Revelation to identify the Catholic Church as the Antichrist and so on. Then you had theologians coming up with counter explanations to refute those claims, not wanting their cash-flow hampered. This is what the OP was repeating and probably as a paid person to present these views when if you pick at it, it seems evident that he really believes in a bunch of esoteric whatever spirit-ism.
Revelation is fiction, no matter how anyone interprets it, just like Nostradamus's "prophecies".
