FP programmers are above the nonFP in terms of skills. Mangers are non-functional programmers who understood they are shitty programmers and ran to do management instead. They never knew anything about FPs cause they didn't get there. Also mangers read marketing mumbo jumbo on the web - this is the cause why some languages are used in wrong industries etc. If you dont know the benefits or that something even exists - you wont use it. Most people on the planet dont know what FP can give them.

No. What is sky for non functional programmers is the floor for functional. If you dont understand the difference then you still have a lot to learn.
