topic: why are exhibits so underrated as a set?

Because people who controlled the direction of the hobby, long time collectors and sellers of small cardboard, decided that bigger or medium size cardboard isn't really a card. No deeper than that.

Have heard people say "because they came out of a machine." Jeez, how stupid is that.

And Adam's book is great.

Because they're not baseball cards. Also, they're not under rated. Next question
