The Waste Land is famous because it is emblematic of the Modernist movement that was the dominant aesthetic movement of the time. It was embraced eagerly by similar poets who promoted it as the poetic equivalent of Ulysses. T S Eliot was also a member of the board of the publishers Faber and Faber and he used them to promulagate his masterpiece.

Writers and poets do not write to conform to movements or literary theories. Eliot did not write the wastelands to fit into modernist movement.
Literary historians and theoreticians are the ones who ascribe such definitions to fictional literary works depending on their contextual currency and aesthetic tastes.
The Wastelands became famous because it captured or reflected the spirit of the Age quite realistically and succinctly. The form and content spoke quite convincingly about the challenges of the human condition of the time. Hence, its overwhelming appeal to wider audiences.

It's famous because it's great---meaningful thoughts and feelings expressed in beautifully structured and emotionally powerful language.
