Why has no one except Bakugo figured out that All Might passed his powers to Deku?

I have been watching Boku no Hero Academia for a while now and in my opinion, Midoriya's smash, "power type" way of fighting is so unmistakably and obviously similar to All Might's fighting style. During the Tournament arc, Battle Trial arc, the 2nd…
