I can tell you with conviction
It's great that you have conviction but no matter how forcefully you say something this seems like your own personal journey to becoming obsessed with lisp.
That's fine, but it doesn't mean it is being used. Listing people and companies and languages with no context isn't real data.
Trust me, another 50 years will pass, yet Lisp will remain.I can clearly see that;
It has been 70 years and plenty of ideas have remained even though the actual languages are niche. You seem very confident that you can predict the future. Does this future predicting ability apply outside of 70 year old computer languages?
the idea of Lisp is simply way too practical to die.
The idea didn't, it's in the languages people use.
