Quite simply, because he's being built as a badass, and not as a fat neckbeard.

His "selfish, disingenuous dick" schtick on the mic is helpful to that end, but ultimately, he hasn't been torn down to be remade in WWEs image. They didn't act as though he just walked in out of nowhere and just became a wrestler the day he appeared on NXT. He's been booked to look legit, put over on commentary, unburdened by some gimmick that would hamstring him with trying to portray some abstract idea, and all around just handled well. They didn't put him in a "why should the audience care?" position, and it doesn't look like they're going to anytime soon.

And as long as they continue a slow build and not a cannon blasting hotshot to the top of the main roster by this Survivor Series, he should be fine.
