Yes really. Of course, people know Loeb and Citroën. I guess, they know Ogier ... but less than Loeb.
With the retirement of Loeb, rally has lost a lot of media attention. Therefore, when you were watching the news, you regularly have the result of Loeb - at least when he won or crashed, and he won a lot
But now, except the sport media who talked a bit - a little bit - of rallying, it came back to zero ground of media attention.

Don't forget that France isn't a motorsport country. There's more and more people who don't like cars - and it has a lot of media attention, so motorsports ...

But fortunately, there's still a lot of people who likes rallying. But it's a bit like motocross : strong community of fan, investing of lot of time in their passion, but with no global attention from the others. And with more and more difficulties to achieve it.
