Because only about 10% of american philosophers identify as continental and the other 90% fundamentally dismiss the discipline. They dismiss the discipline only on the basis of the name, which comes down to analytics judge books by their covers.
Pretty sure this is what analytic(s) think continental philosophy is. The sad truth is they are not far off.
Check out some secondary literature/introductions to those subjects/authors. If you want to delve further they usually have helpful "Further Reading" sections that will give you other points of departure, that will hopefully be better paths to understanding than, just say, picking up Of Grammatology.
There is even a continental theory book in the A Very Short Introduction series, but based on the reviews it doesn't sound like it's what you're looking for.
