I think that's the reason. Milan is actually a fairly interesting city, but Italy is probably more jam-packed with interesting places than any country on earth, so Milan seems uninteresting in comparison.

One other problem is that Milan has more modern core districts than other Italian cities. Some of the neighborhoods have a "postwar Germanic" type look, which is arguably less than interesting. But the city as a whole is still pretty beautiful, as seen in these pics.
