Popularity != PR.

Choosing an obscure language with little community support imposes real-world development costs: it's harder to find or ramp up new developers, there are fewer eyes identifying bugs in the implementation, tooling support can be subpar, documentation and blog posts are harder to find, etc.

(btw I know nothing about ATS so I'm not saying this is a good description of that language in particular.)
