If anything, the Westerners are prone to spirituality as much as people in East (or may be more so). Keeping the historical background in mind, the arrival of crusaders stopped Islam and hence sufism entering the West…just like the wave of wahabism hijacked Islam and tassawuf in East. This is the simplest explanation I could come up with.

What I meant flourishing of Sufism as an institute like we had ‘Khanqah’ culture which played an important role.

people in west may follow sufi values because they had interaction with people from east.
