Why John Sebastian Bach is popular?

Johann Sebastian Bach is "popular" because he devised a system of counterpoint in the earliest days of Baroque Music. Antonio Vivaldi also wrote many pieces based on this counterpoint. Leopold Mozart studied Bach for many years of his life during his early Vienna years before the birth of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Everybody praises Mozart as the greatest composer of all time, and he was taught "modernized Bach" counterpoint in his youth. His Minuet in G, written at age 4 before his first formal lesson uses Bach" Counterpoint. But back to Johann Sebastian Bach. Bach was a renowned organ player and klavier improviser. He wrote the "Well Tempered Klavier", which was a suite of counterpoint exercises in every possible key, and he tuned the klavier (a harpsichord) between numbers, as it was customary to tune a keyboard during the concert. This is quite long-winded, but I am trying to make a point. Bach had obvious talent in the early Baroque era and his counterpoint rules shaped what music is today. There are college course(which I am taking) on how the early Baroque style is still present in modern music. Even heavy metal has a trace of Bach and Fux counterpoint. (I won't go in to detail on Fux)

Why did bach want to be a composer?

Johann Sebastian Bach was born on March 21st l685, the son of Johann Ambrosius, court trumpeter for the Duke of Eisenach and director of the musicians of the town of Eisenach in Thuringia. For many years, members of the Bach family throughout Thuringia had held positions such as organists, town instrumentalists, or Cantors, and the family name enjoyed a wide reputation for musical talent. The family at Eisenach lived in a reasonably spacious home just above the town center, with rooms for apprentice musicians, and a large grain store. (The pleasant and informative "Bach Haus" Museum in Eisenach does not claim to be the original family home). Here young Johann Sebastian was taught by his father to play the violin and the harpsichord. He was also initiated into the art of organ playing by his famous uncle, Johann Christoph Bach, who was then organist at the Georgenkirche in Eisenach. Sebastian was a very willing pupil and soon became extraordinarily proficient with these instruments. When he was eight years old he went to the old Latin Grammar School, where Martin Luther had once been a pupil; he was taught reading and writing, Latin grammar, and a great deal of scripture, both in Latin and German. The boys of the school formed the choir of the St. Georgenkirche, which gave Johann Sebastian an opportunity to sing in the regular services, as well as in the nearby villages. He was described as having 'an uncommonly fine treble voice'. The Lutheran spirit would have been strong in Eisenach, for it was in the Wartburg Castle standing high above the town, that Martin Luther, in hiding from his persecutors, translated the New Testament into German. Roads were still unpaved in the smaller towns, sewage and refuse disposal poorly organized, and the existence of germs not yet scientifically discovered. Mortality rates were high as a result. At an early age Johann Sebastian lost a sister and later a brother. When he was only nine years old his mother died. Barely nine months later his father also died. Johann Sebastian and one of his brothers, Johann Jakob, were taken into the home of their eldest brother, Johann Christoph (born l671) who had recently married and settled down at Ohrdruf, a small town thirty miles south-east of Eisenach. Johann Christoph, a former pupil of Pachelbel, was now well established as organist of the St. Michaeliskirche, Ohrdruf.
