The game the Amillennialists play is to point out the errors of Dispensationalism, and then present their doctrine as the only alternative. Never mentioning there is another view that is not Dispensational - Historic Premillennialism. They want prospective converts to be kept in the dark about it.

Historic Premillennialism, by the way, is Post-trib, and believes the church is to play the central role in the tribulation and the millennial.

Historic Premillennialism is “historic” because it represents the view of such early post-Apostolic church fathers as Justin Martyr, Ireneaus, Tertullian, Hypollutus, Lactanius, etc. Dispensationalism, on the other hand, is a modern invention, early 19th century Britain.

You must not be looking the same places I'm looking. I see plenty of engagement with postmils and historic premils. Dispensationalism gets most of the visible response because that's where all the shouting and heated rhetoric is coming from.
