To be this is a community factor rather than a technical one. You can't talk to a Haskell person for five minutes before they're trying to explain monads to you, (often whether you already understand them or not) and to an OCaml programmer they're just another tool.

You're probably talking to the wrong Haskell people :-P

I'm fairly sure it's a complete technical one. Haskell's purity enforces effect typing, OCaml doesn't. You can just get more done without monads in OCaml and you have to have built-in syntax for sequencing (e.g. ;).
