Personally I think the biggest reason is just how polarized people are right now. I mean, if Biden had been shot at, maybe there would have been a larger outpouring of sympathy - but I don't think anyone would have changed their votes because of it. The number of people who are deciding who to vote for right before they do it is at the smallest its ever been, virtually nobody is interested in changing their vote out of sympathy for the candidate anymore.
