Bottom line is, that putting it in the vernacular makes the Mass seem too boring and ordinary, which is why most Catholics never attend, and are practical atheists.
For some; for others, such as my wife, a liturgy in Greek is as boring as it can get, and a Latin Mass I took her to was equally boring. When it's in English and she can sing along, she pays total attention. I myself don't mind traditional languages and would like for a liturgy to have about 25% traditional language, but more than that turns the average person (especially converts) off and is a barrier to mission (which I hate to admit since I love liturgy in Greek).
