Knowledge about monads is more prevalent in some FP circles, but it's not common in all FP circles, and it's not unique to FP.
To give you an analogy, tensors are maybe more common in Python than in other languages because of the datascience happening in that community, but that doesn't make tensors a Python thing, and Django folks probably don't care about it.
An example of monads being used in other languages would be all the stream libraries having a flatmap operation somewhere. They don't call it "monad" so they can't brag about it on Twitter, but they're still using it.
