Emacs takes serious, concerted, and prolonged effort to make headway in. Nothing a new user knows about other software is helpful in working in emacs, so yeah, it's a really daunting and offputting barrier in 2021 when the overwhelming RULE is that tools honor conventions and work similarly.
This is why emacs is a niche application in a niche world, and is likely to remain so.
It's crazy powerful, and I have made OrgMode my organizational home for a long time, but I don't pretend it's a good fit for people who aren't already very nerdy. (Honestly, at this point, if a person with no development background expresses curiosity, I send them to Obsidian.)
