Why is metaethical subjectivism so unpopular in academia?
According to the 2020 PhilPaper survey, about 65% of philosophers endorse some form of moral realism, while only about 25% accept or lean towards moral Anti-Realism, of which most seem to be non-cognitivist.
It seems to me as if forms of subjectivism, like subjectivist appraiser-relativism, are endorsed quite frequently in normal folk discourse, or in internet spaces, but few academic philosophers in the field actually have/lean towards these views.
What could be the explanation for this?
