It happens the way anything else gets abandoned… not enough contributors. Many of the libraries mentioned in the comments here were created by one person. When that person loses interest (or gets a new job!) the library goes stagnant.

It’s kind of a tragic irony. Clojure gives a solo dev enough leverage to create such a library. But because it only needs one dev to create it, the bus number stays at 1.

This would make sense, but the project has 98 lifetime contributors and 298 forks.
