I think this is a wrong statement: OpenType Math is by itself in early stage.
Only
two-three products make use of it.

Even if this true, why so few people use ConTeXt? IMHO, ConTeXt is more
difficult to learn and use
than LaTeX. In a final analysis, you cannot force people to use something just
because you
think it is better. You have to convince them and so far it seems they are not.
