Hypothesis: The fact that the average Haskeller thinks that this kind of

How many normal people actively stalk highly specialized academic papers
like you do and mistake them for Haskell tutorials to begin with?
(Pun: strawman is made of stalks.)
However, average programmers using languages with interesting type
systems should learn type rule notation sooner or later. It takes only
Θ(1) to learn, and its saving in writing and reading is Θ(n) if you will
use it n times in the rest of your life (which you do because you are
using languages with interesting type systems).
