This is why computer programmers and engineers have a hard time with math. Most people never even reach the levels where mathematicians matter.
Math is behind what everyone uses, but not in a way that they can change it. Many people don’t need more than basic algebra. The most complicated math most people will every do is an interest rate calculation.
It would be a bit like teaching art history to a computer scientist. Beyond a basic level they are going to have trouble spotting relevant applications, much less advanced topics.
