Lisp is a very flexible language; I don’t see why people can’t just use LISP instead of other language, since it technically has every feature of every language.
@Amicchan this question is interesting because it relies on the assumption that people choose languages based on good design, which I think doesn’t hold up to much scrutiny if you observe peoples behavior in reality. network effects massively overpower the influence of good design when it comes to language adoption.
Because it is probably very inefficient.
AFAIK most languages are equivalent in the sense that you could theoretically do the exact same things. You could for example write the same programs in C, Java, python, or excel and even minecraft Redstone. The least one however being super inefficient.

I’ve been using Clojure for around a decade now and haven’t seen any reason to use other languages. Having access to the ecosystem tends to be the main reason to use a different language in my experience.
