Businesses care. I worked with Haskell in production (a fairly normal B2B SaaS). Some things you would expect to have in the ecosystem had to be maintained domestically.

My former company was generous enough to publish most of these[0] as open source projects. But what's really telling is that oftentimes vendoring a commonly used OSS library was unavoidable.
