Because Rand was only one of presumably dozens of influences on Greenspan's political makeup, and Greenspan was only one of several causes of the 2008 collapse. And keep in mind that fringe beliefs can cause major occurrences and still be considered fringe.

(Also as I said below to u/sphericalvoxel, fringe to describe libertarians is somewhat hyperbolic.)
