We have Die Verwandlung by Kaftka, which isn't very realistic, so why do they often detest SciFi?

Future generations will not shun Philip K. Dick or The Road. I'm sure A Canticle for Liebowitz, 2001, Ray Bradbury, and A Clockwork Orange are studied in some respected departments now. The problem is that most Sci Fi blows.
It used to be you could say this about horror, but English Depts. in the 20th Century discovered Poe and now he is revered. Shelley's novel about that green monster with the flat head made of dead body parts is also admired and anthologized. It is regarded as a bellweather of the Romantic movement.
No generalizations please.
