In general, I have seen a tendency from liberal, humanity disciplines that are trying to get rid of empirical studies to justify their political ideologies: "equality for all vs. equality of outcomes", "truth is relative", etc.

I have also observed this, sadly.

I think it's basically coming down to a battle of the mathematically literate vs. not, and unfortunately the non-literate have a lot of stickiness in academia because they can generate ideas people want to believe with no empirical "where the rubber meets the road".
