Some more would be statistical (R, Matlab, SPSS), gaming outside the web (C, C++, Java), scientific computing (Python, Fortran, Julia), supercomputing simulations (Fortran, C++, C), embedded devices (C, C++, Rust), server farms (C++, Go, Java), financial (Java, Cobol, J/K), to name three PLs in each category that come to mind.

There is a big world of computing outside of apps and websites.

Clojure would be a bad choice for pretty much all of those as well, right? Or is it interchangeable with Java?

People use Clojure for all of those. From the rationale (https://clojure.org/about/rationale), Clojure "endeavors to be a general-purpose language suitable in those areas where Java is suitable".
