Actually most of the community calls point-free "pointless".

I know because I actually like point-free and noticed that became a minority opinion over the years.

My experience with real world Haskell has been it is more often too verbose in the style of Java to avoid confirming the "Haskellers use single letter variables everywhere" misconception.
