pfff... Lisps exists pretty much for every platform and domain these days. You need to target JVM - here's Clojure. Javascript - Clojurescript and nbb. You need system scripting - you can use babashka or Janet. OTP - there's LFE. You need iOS/Android development - there's ClojureDart and ReactNative. Low-level systems programming - try Carp or Ferret. Data science and numerical computing - Hy gives you Python interop and there's clj-python/libpython-clj. Microcontrollers and embedded - uLisp covers it. Academic/research work - still can't beat Common Lisp or Scheme.

The OP is wrong about creative freedom being overblown. Lisp gives you creative freedom - if you choose to accept it.
