This might be true for current processes but it seems like it should be possible to duplicate a hologram - use a hologram as a stand-in for the original scene when creating a new hologram. The result might have some blur (that progressively gets worse the more 'generations' you are from the original) but that seems like a solvable problem if someone worked at it.
I think the real reason we don't see them is more practical - it's amazing tech but a bit too much of a novelty in its current state, it's just not something that most people would want to put on their wall.
