Oh, sure! I didn't mean to suggest that there were as many as the only-pure-FP crowd, though I can see how my phrasing may have suggested as much. I just meant to bring up that there are people like that, who refuse to (consciously) adopt any amount of FP in their development. I have interacted with some myself. Most of them make arguments about, like, "People think in terms of state so FP is inherently a bad user experience" or something to that effect.
