Look at how easily a producer can make a pop song in Ableton https://youtube.com/watch?v=F5CPQ8LU36w

Ableton is like the modern day guitar.
SuperCollider and music programming languages are like the modern day bass clarinet.
There isn't much bass clarinet in modern pop music either. Part of what defines pop music is the familiarity of the sound and popular expectation of what music is supposed to be.
Why would anyone use SuperCollider or a computer music framework to make something resembling a pop song?
Ableton includes a fairly comprehensive SDK called Max for Live, it's been used in a handful of popular tracks before.
Pure algomusic/tracker setups are usually a poor fit for pop music, though. DAWs have indispensable tools for vocal processing that you cannot forego most of the time.
Yeah BT lol.
SuperCollider would be the wrong tool for the job.
