What I pointed out above is that there are people who do this stuff in their development. (-:
It seems like we're caught in this cycle where every 2 or 3 years, a new framework comes out that everybody rushes to embrace. Someone is writing the code to build these frameworks, and I guarantee you someone had to worry about what made their algorithm O(n^2) instead of O(log(n))
I think the reason you're being downvoted though, isn't because you simply pointed out that some people don't need to know this stuff, because (although somewhat pointless to state), that's true. Rather, I think the problem was when you said
Mathematics gets way more attention than it deserves in computing
Because you made no attempt to back it up, producing only evidence of your particular situation.

The number of people working on difficult libraries/frameworks is rather small compared to the total number of developers.
