This company looks to be a team of three (probably very smart) engineers who build cool custom software for likely relatively small clients. The software is likely only supported and modified by them. In that scenario something like Haskell makes sense - however once you need to scale your engineering footprint beyond 5-10 people it becomes virtually impossible to rationalize using a niche language like Haskell.

What is that claim based on? Plenty of companies use Haskell to great success scaling to well beyond 10 people. It may be a niche language, but in a remote-working world, and with a truly massive number of developers in the workforce, there still end up being a sizeable number of professional Haskell developers available to most companies.
