The book Enoch was not considered canon in Judaism nor pre-schism Christianity. It's not in the Septuagint, for example, the Scriptures that Jesus quotes in the four gospels.
That doesn't mean it's not interesting or not useful, but it is not normative. There doesn't seem to have been a conspiracy to stamp it out, no conspiracy, it simply wasn't considered canon so it wasn't propagated.
I see a couple of Ethiopian churches have a larger set of scriptures and they include it. That does not elevate it to the status of the Torah or New Testament.
Which are these famous sayings of Jesus that quote from Enoch? Or are you referring to other extra-biblical books here too?
