The article states that Lisp has "not been thought suitable for mass-market applications due to difficulties in packaging the executable bits and running them on end-user hardware." I'm not sure this is really what has prevented Lisp from being used for "mass-market" purposes. I think it has more to do with the fact that (despite some notable exceptions) it's not what's typically taught to most programmers in school.
