Give it some time, Elixir is clearly gaining traction.
I think it's mostly related to the "age" we live in. For the last two decades OOP has been the main thing. New problems arise, software is written differently now and a lot of development related things have been changing, so maybe/probably there will be a shift to FP.

That's my sole opinion, though.
