The huge majority of people don't play poker in order to be "consistent winners", or to make money, or any other such goal, like the relative minority group that posts and reads here. People play to enjoy, and playing correctly is usualy pretty far from being enjoyable for most people, especially if you only 1-tabling.

Also, there is much more in this game (even in SNGs) than simply learning to play "correctly" and "killing" the game. Most people, for instance, can't deal with any kind of negative variacnce. No matter how many books about SNGs they'll read, the second somone hits his 3 outer on them, they start tilting and they'll make major mistakes in the next SNG they'll play.

BTW, questiosn like you're asking here were asked many times, many months/years ago about all forms of poker. There is a huge amount of written theory about limit poker, and still the games are highly beatable. The argument that SNGs are "easier" to master, does not makes sense in this respect, because, again, people could lose much much less in limit, if they only started playing a bit tighter from early position or whatever, for instance, which is very easy to do. But most players (i.e, fish) don't do it, because it's very boring.
