Haskell is popular in universities, fintech companies, and among the FP crowed at large. Many programmers know of it's benefits and simply avoid it because FP is very difficult for many to code in and Haskell is trying to be FP only...

Popular in which fintech companies? I don't believe this is true, but I would be happy to wrong.
Jane Street uses OCaml, but of course that's not Haskell. All the other finance firms seem to use pretty standard C/C++ because they need the low latency.
Standard Chartered uses their own dialect of Haskell. There's some talks on youtube about it.
I've done Haskell contract work at multiple large Wall Street investment banks. It's not like it's their only language - these are large orgs with lots of smart people, sometimes some of them use Haskell.
