Yeah the overall win is what's subjective. To many, programming in a functional style, and embracing concepts like 'monads', is not appealing, regardless of that additional information.
There are lots of things we could do to add more information to our programs. We could write tooling that religiously enforces a certain amount of commenting for example. which would be 'more information'. But it's debatable/subjective that adds value overall, given the cost to developers.
> But are you arguing in favor of having less information?
Short answer, no, it's the manner in which it's conveyed, and the hoop-jumping required to do so that constitutes the subjective element.
