I'm not making your point for you, I just don't agree with you on what the actual problem is.

Programmers don't disagree that we could be using better approaches. The question is not why they don't exist, because they do exist. The question is why we don't or can't use them currently.

Most of the time, the reason is purely cultural, either due to management or legacy. I'd love to use Purescript and Haskell at my job, but I cannot. I don't get to make that choice. A new Elm transpiler won't solve a cultural problem.
