I would agree with the general statement that mathematics has not been the most inclusive field (though it's getting better) and has been reserved to "elites", but I don't understand how it can be linked to statements like "math is everywhere".

His conclusions states:

"If math were really everywhere, it would already belong to everyone equally. But when it comes to accessing and supporting math, there is much work to be done. Math isn’t everywhere."

I guess the same might be told for art or history ; they are everywhere but artists and historians are not and becoming one of them is difficult.

By this standard, surgeons are elitist too. Try buying a green scrub and showing up in the operating room to cut someone ... Medicine is not everywhere.
