Because the PLC marked is dominated by vendors pushing their vendor-lock
solutions, e.g. Siemens.
Another reason is the customers lacking elementary programming and
software design skills. They are usually technicians and electrical or
mechanical engineers.

Is it a joke?

Possibly, if Ada community would pay attention to the emerging market of
single board computers used at home.
In about 5-10 years so-called industrial solutions will be swept away by
cheap hardware and hobby software coming from the home automation toy
projects. These will be far worse than awful SPS, who could think that
worse were possible? But the force of mass market is overwhelming. SPS
et al will suffer the same fate as workstations did.
