Why is /æ/ raising so unknown? (lemmy.ml)

Hi, I'm a casual linguistics nerd (no degrees), speaking Philippine English with heavy American influence.

My accent of English has pre-nasal /æ/ raising and I've caught myself raising it in other places like before /g/.

When I look at English language learning videos (out of curiosity) I have not found anyone mention /æ/ raising in them.

Why is this case?
