Take 10,000BC for example, maybe, just maybe if it was celebrities rather than civilians, it would attract more people to watch.

I think it's a lot simpiler than that as once upon a time regular BB got far more viewers than the celebrity one which had huge names in those days! It's just because every series of cbb especially the winter ones since 2014 just happen to be good while imo the only good normal bb for c5 was 2013 and that would still rank below most cbb's from recent years.
Also I think that normal bb is a dead format. Everyone knows that it's not as good as it used to be and it just becomes worse every year. There was a similar feeling with cbb up until cbb13 where bb found its mojo back under a new platform. To most people, it's like normal big brother doesn't even exist like today people would say "do you watch celebrity big brother?" But in 2006 when cbb was on it would still be "do you watch big brother?" They were the same show in channel 4 days and now there basically 2 different ones.
