It's a real mystery. Some popular conspiracy theories:

* Scala projects the Haskell-on-the-JVM image too much to scare off the practically-minded. It has no ORCL or GOOG behind it (its cousin F# has had official MSFT support for a decade at least).

* Kotlin is strongly associated with the frontend. Just try to search for a backend Kotlin role in the Bay Area to see.

* Java 17-21 is catching up with Kotlin fast enough to make many people doubt the upskilling effort.

Kotlin only matters on Android, because Google says so, and even them had to accept Kotlin without Maven ecosystem is meaningless, increasingly moving into modern Java, thus Android updates to Java 11, followed by Java 17.
