As I said the BoF was a defeat for the Allies - regardless of the local successes. This is probably why it was put on the back shelf compared to the BoB - few people like to be taught about past defeats.
For example Guderian remembers his time as teacher for Tactics and Military History at the Officer's Academy at Stettin where he found the other teachers omitting Napoleon's victory over Prussia in 1806 while he went through it in great detail as he regarded it highly informative. I guess the same motivation applies to the relative lack of interest in the BoF.
