You read that entire article and your takeaway is a theory about why Lisp isn't popular? I got something entirely, completely, and utterly unlike that. I read an article that was about the author's students, but I recognized the same thing in myself, in people who have devoted themselves to playing Bridge full time, and many other corners of society where extremely bright people hang out.
The correlation between the personality and Lisp programming is very interesting, but I have to say that Lisp having a terrible "UI" for sharing--if true--doesn't strike me as being connected to the article.
Maybe you could help me connect the dots between what the author is saying and what you are saying?
Exactly. Please note I'm not speaking English natively and used phrase 'my take' according to my knowledge how to use it. My point was rather a digression comparing to the original article. In fact, I sympathize with the author and I put my 2cents what IMO causes the situation described.
