Well that's more of a you thing. The idea of the Jedi and the Sith playing tug of war with the galaxy for thousands of years must be pretty compelling to a lot of people because that's how the conflict is portrayed, whereas the idea that the Jedi Order is in some way a flawless organisation that has never made any mistakes and is beyond reproach is evidently not very compelling to anyone because they have never been portrayed that way.

The Jedi Order is simply a very deeply flawed organisation that often proves itself to be too rigid and incapable of change and the detachment they foster clearly diminishes their ability to sympathise with others. We have many examples of the Jedi Order not taking the feelings of others into consideration, which was a major driving force behind Anakin's fall to the dark side.
