Undertaker was a rare breed of wrestler at a time when WWE/WWF had fierce competition breathing down their knocks. He was a young, up and coming talent and when he got good rather than jump ship for more money at WCW etc like some "established superstars" did, he stuck around at WWE. If anything he is truly Mr WWE, Mr Wrestle Mania, more so than HBK or Triple H. That's why it was so easy to build a streak around him and also many of the fans who were shocked by the streak had grown up watching it develop over many many years i.e. from kids to loyal adults.
WWE's demographics have changed dramatically with an increasingly younger fan base and I suspect such fans do not hold as much loyalty to the brand or to wrestling i.e. they will eventually grow out of it. In that sense there would be no need for a streak because who would they be showing it off to? It would be like Stephen Hawking lecturing to an empty room.
