Why? DOOM was a technical achievement, sure, but it has little in the way of story; it didn't even attempt the whole "trying to tell a story without words" thing common in video games of today. It's certainly not an epic.
If they wouldn't have released source code for it in 1997, who would actually be thinking of DOOM today in terms of anything but "Wow, that had pretty cool tech!"?
I could kind of understand the story appreciation for DOOM 3, because it at least had a story, but DOOM?
