why are there so many people that know boring regular programming languages but not so many people using digital signal processing languages to make awesome music?

musicians and programmers are very different people

these are programmers who make music, though.
i get what OP is saying, why aren't there more programmers who go into making creative stuff.
two thoughts, because there is little education teaching it, as well as lower income.
plus most people are not creative. there are more consumers than creators, always. so aren't programmers creators? well they are also extremely logical, right? it seems then that it's more of a choice of logical survival to make an income from programming rather than thinking of programming as an art.
