Peoples' brains have been broken. Nothing ever just happens anymore for so many people. They need a nice and tidy explanation for the chaos that surrounds them, so they turn everything into a conspiracy. A new X-Files series would only exacerbate that (unless they satirize them, though even then, they're not exactly the type of people who grasp satire).
