One can argue that we have a general level of understanding up to the end of high-school and then specialise when going to universities or trade schools. Hence seeing the same in artificial agents does make sense for me.
Further, calling it "niche" is a strange word to use in combination with domain-specific models. While from the origin of the word, "niche" can refer to a defined market segment, we use "niche" in common english as a modifier more akin to "relating to or aimed at a small specialized group or market" . Which might or might not be true depending on the size of the market.
