Its about learning-fatigue due to needing to function in real life, especially since the learning curve is steep.

A family man might read a book about FP patterns to solve common issues, agile, QS+testing, concurrency, etc (actually seen tgese read by 50yo collegues) - but not a single one has a category theory book on their table.

Its a question of time invested vs benefits to current occupation.

FP terminology is the domain of the young and the driven, who also are of academic age. (Probably winy find any junior-high kids dabbling with semigroups anytime soon)

For what it's worth I'm a 40yo family man who has been in the industry for 20 years :)
