A monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors. Would most people know what "brrrdogcogfog" means? Couldn't we make that argument about literally any word? I don't see why it applies more here than elsewhere. For people who have experienced it before, it's straightforward and easy to work with, for those who haven't, then there's a learning curve. No one would likely have encountered "brrrdogcogfog" before and everyone would have to go through the learning curve.
