I mean, it might seem that way but evidence suggests otherwise: https://www.undp.org/press-releases/worlds-largest-survey-public-opinion-climate-change-majority-people-call-wide-ranging-action

This is more likely evidence of the lack of awareness people have of data like this, rather than a disinterest in the topic. Just because it's readily available, doesn't mean people know about it. Also, don't confuse a lack of interest in viewing data on air quality as a lack of interest in air quality itself. Those are not the same thing.
