Why is Vanilla Ice Cream consistently peoples favorite in most surveys.  
Much like with Ice Cream, a lot of people like simplicity in their art.  
The only thing more simple to create artistically besides a stencil is a stick figure some would say.  

1. Vanilla (29%)

Vanilla as a flavor was first recorded as used in food by the Aztecs during the 1500’s. It was introduced to the Spanish conquistadors when they traveled across Mesonamerica. The Spanish were transfixed by the many ways vanilla was used in traditional Indian food and drinks, which is why the Spanish brought the vanilla bean back to Spain and throughout Europe by the 1600’s.

Vanilla ice cream was thought to have been invented in Asia in the fourteenth century. Ice cream making spread from East to Europe when Moors and Arabs traveled to Spain and refrigeration became prominent in Europe. By the early 18th century, Italians and French were making vanilla ice cream, or frozen vanilla desserts by making smooth iced concoctions blended with sugar, eggs, and egg yolks in the recipe. The first ice cream recipes recorded by the French in the early eighteenth century did not include egg yolks.

At least stencil art can be elevated to something far greater with real skills (like penny etc). Not that stik has to jump out of his few strokes, but what else can he do to further his craft as an artist?

The fact that news headlines keep linking any street artists with banksy smells of the sensationalizing of the importance of that said artist.

Sometimes the skill in in the simplicity. The more complex does not mean more accomplished or worthwhile.
The reason why every bit of street work is related back to banksy is that when the media try to front a story, they use his name to sum up the scene. Much like you would quickly mention coca cola Rather than saying 'a dark caramelised sugary drink' when running a story about a similar soda. No ones comparing him or sensationalising. Two different artists completely in every way.

as far as im aware banksy is quietly earning the millions whilst stik could but chooses not to.
