I think that Lisp taste for minimalism was very much a product of the world adjacent to Lisp and early Lispers: logic. Look at the lambda calculus itself. That whole golden era of metamathematics in the first half of the 20th century.

Unlike hacking culture (like engineering, accepts compromises for the context at hand) or commercial ones (enjoy bloat for finance/psychological reasons).
