Polyamory and open relationships

I know it's not the social norm but why is it so far fetched to people that some couples operate well in these types of relationships? I've been both open and poly for years and we love each other and are committed to each other just the same.....

I don't have an issue with it and I am sure there has to be some people out there for whom it works out and that is great.

However, the people I have met in person who flocked to that (with one exception) were people who were fleeing very toxic monogamous relationships and had frankly scary ideas about relationship dynamics in general and ended up just reproducing their toxic relationships but just adding more people to the chaos and drama.
