Geodesic domes are straight lines. Flat ceiling are psychologically constraining, something hard to convey in a picture. Here's an article: www.obsev.com: This Fatal Flaw Led to the Decline in the Popularity of Dome Homes

The surprising conclusion: Domes have become tainted by an association with the artist formerly known as Kanye West.

Wow you took a completely different conclusion than me. It seemed pretty clear to me that domes failed because:

These dome dwellers learned that privacy wasn’t easy inside a dome, especially when people started having children. Eventually, people started losing interest in domes altogether. Khan himself was over the idea of living in a dome. "After four years of living in domes, the excitement of moonlight through overhead windows has worn off"

That was prior to 1972 so it had nothing to do with West. The hippies grew up and migrated into the real world.

Domes are a great shape for a small simple one room structure. When you try to subdivide one into rooms to make a real house it all falls apart.
