Olmi and Leone? Gimme a friggin....'

The problem with Leone was his ironic vision. The West didn't have a drop of it. Leone, being a product of his time, couldn't just tell the story "straight."
Boetticher, Ford, and others realized it and crafted films that believed in themselves. No one man shot down six at a time.
Again, there is a difference between fine entertainment and art.
(And no, to those who wish for my definitions, they won't be provided. Like pornography, they're self-explanatory.)
