Seriously?

A CS degree is not necessary in order to understand functional programming, and it's not like reducer functions are all that complicated.

The vast majority of developers absolutely cannot handle reducers. Give them a pattern to follow and they'll follow, though.

I think the difficulty is in making sure the state is not mutated. This is unusual for most developers, especially those coming from an OOP background.

It seems like you have some stats I don't have access to. Care to share? I feel it implausible that given reduce is a functionality built into JavaScript, very useful, and that it's the worlds most common programming language saying the vast majority seems like a stretch.
