I wouldn't assme that: RSA is something taught in typical maths and computer science curriculums at universities. Factorization is a well-known problem. Symmetric ciphers, on the other hand are for specialists. So I would assume that RSA got much more attention and eyes looking at it than any symmetric cipher.
