I think this is, in part, due to the question asked.
The IETF's Last Call announcement presumes much on the part of those
reading it. You're aiming to solicit something that's not asked for.
Compare and contrast with the XSF's Last Call announcements, in particular
the questionnaire at the end. Note that in this thread, almost all
respondents are actually filling it in, and further note that at least some
of those are experienced IETF participants, suggesting that even the jaded
IETF folk might join in.

I'd suggest that putting together a set of five questions you're hoping to
have answered would be sensible and useful.
Perhaps:
1) Do you believe this document is needed?
2) Is the document ready for publication as-is?
3) Are you intending to, or have you already, implemented and/or deployed
this specification?
4) Does the document adequately explain the risks involved in implementing
and/or deploying this specification?
5) Is the document sufficiently clear to allow unambiguous understanding of
how to implement and/or deploy the specification?
