"People that are interested in typesetting music" is a small market. The Venn diagram of those with "people that are confident coders" is **tiny**.
As others have said, Lilypond has a reasonably steep learning curve. But when I was learning to use that, I felt Sibelius was also often confusing and unintuitive. And on that matter, Musescore is far, far worse, despite doing much of what Lily does in a "wysiwyg" way.
