The question here is: is Haskell an artful, avant garde language, or is it one that's effective for line-of-business apps? There is space for both kinds of language but it's worth knowing which is which.
Why can’t it be both?
Almost by definition!
Businesses avoid the new and unusual, because it is new and unusual,
and the artful revel in it, because it is new and unusual!

that's certainly a question that makes sense to ask when you're a business aiming for the big bucks
A certain kind of strengths and weaknesses, but not the only kind. It feels like you're asking a someone who mostly makes raku pottery to show how many pieces they have sold in Walmart... Haskell certainly can be used in the way you're looking for examples, as someone could find a market for their pottery through Walmart, but I think it's ok to let Haskell be in that more artful or avant garde space.
