If they were of such good quality why not compete on store shelves where it's more likely you will garner attention? Minecraft does it just fine. If they presented themselves in the traditional way most games have done up to this point then people wouldn't see them as anything less. If you don't believe in the project enough to get it into the mainstreams eye it kinda says by default they don't believe it can compete and thus the negative assumptions about less ambition and content.
I think in terms of actual and not percieved content and ambition good indie games far surpass the industry. They go places where AAA industry simply wouldn't tread(which tend torward many of may favorite forgotten genres). They may not have as much money behind them but I also tend to find them more fun than most AAA games too.
