If they acknowledged Marcuse they would have to recognize that right-wing criticism of "Cultural Marxism" has a real basis.
The strenght of the left, specially in the intellectual sphere, has been carefully maintained by never acknowledging memes and concepts devised by their cultural antagonists. The right has adopted the concept of "capitalism" as invented by Karl Marx, it has even adopted "neoliberalism" as something other than a buzzword. The left is more cautious and never gives this kind of legitimacy to their enemies.
