Short answer: (language) sampling bias.

Because almost no entry-level programmers are coming in with clojure.

Same goes for F# and Elixir.

Most folks in these three languages have a lot of experience under their belt, and so they can get commensurate pay.

According to the State of Clojure 2021 survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-S2L8NR6K9/

There is an fairly even distribution of YOE with 25% having 0-5 YOE

do you expect javascript, python, java, and C# to have 25% 0-5 YOE?
