Are the breakthroughs in fundamental chemistry being recognized??

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced award of NobelPrize in Chemistry-2018 with one half to Prof. Frances H. Arnold for her discovery on "Directed evolution of enzymes" and the other half jointly to Prof. George P. Smith and Sir Gregory P. Winter on the "Phage display of peptides and antibodies". As usual it was disappointing to not that none of them were from fundamental chemistry field.

Since last 4-5 years we are seeing a trend that the Nobel committee is giving more preference to multidisciplinary research outcomes over hardcore chemistry. But at the same time, we also can not agree to the fact that there were no breakthroughs in fundamental chemistry in fast decade, which can be taken into account for the highest academic award (Nobel prize) nominations....…

I simply don’t understand………

• Why Holton-Nicolaou-Danishefsky combination didn’t get recognition by scientific community for their work on the famous anticancer drug Taxol and its Total synthesis.
• How come people didn’t see the groundbreaking research on Organic_dye sensitization of Nanoporous TiO2 semiconductors by Gratzel-Honda-Fujishima combination.
• What made the intellects to not to nominate the invention of Flow_Chemistry and its industrial applications.
• Why the great discovery of versatile Metallo-organic stable pigments such as Porphyrins and Phthalocyanines didn’t get recognition at global level for their enormous applications in wide variety of areas such as Photo dynamic therapy (PDT), material science, molecular imaging etc.

I still can list out some more of them and these were definitely the globally recognizable breakthroughs that opened the plethora of doors…Surely there is something missing among scientific community in chemistry discipline to honor and appreciate such breakthroughs........I am simply ambiguous to know what is that reason that is rendering the scientific community to appreciate the research outcomes from their own subject of interest.......

The question is left to readers......
