Lisp being too minimalistic or offering too many choices is an interesting argument. It's not wholly untrue. Lisps culturally offer power and flexibility.
Many- most perhaps - developers don't want that. They want a golden road to deployment, a KISS mechanism to write basic code to do basic things and keep doing them. Flexibility and power expand the solution space too much for their taste.
Well, that's OK for them. I'll just be doing my Lisp as much as I can.
