3-And i dont dig that theory.

4-You can make some new and original if you keep at it and think outside the box. What matters is effort. Problem is most people like the classics so much they stick to them. 1-Eh, don't really know, faulty grammar just annoys me.

2-Don't have a PC?

3-It's not a theory, it's a fact.

4-That's pretty much literally what I said. You can make something new, but many people prefer to stick to ideas that have already proven successful. "Playing it safe", you could say. They know people like X, so by doing X, it's less likely to be a commercial failure. (Important because, unless you live on the moon or are Tarzan, money is what gets you food, transportation, electricity, a decent home, and any other thing you could need or want 98% of the time).

And of course, there's also the fact that just because something is Original, it does not mean it's better or even good. And while effort (and money. And skill/knowledge/brains) is necesary to make the product good, it's pretty much irrelevant when it comes to originality.

Not to mention that just because an idea is Original it does not mean people will like it or even be interested just because it's Original. Especially if the idea is also alienating.
