Another reason might be the "cultural" aspects of Clojure, and their impacts on its ecosystem - in particular simplicity and stability are paramount, whereas the Elixir ecosystem seems to put more emphasis on immediate ease of use and elegance à la Ruby, at the cost of doing some "magical" designs which you tend to not see in the Clojure ecosystem.

How exactly is stability not paramount in Elixir? It runs in the BEAM.
Stability of the language itself is another factor though. Clojure does a really good job avoiding breaking changes in the language.
With the exception of a few project config settings whose legacy variants are still backwards compatible, Elixir is absolutely stable as well.

So not sure what were you saying about Elixir.
