Note that just as your original comment was murky and seemingly accusatory, so was my original reply to you—because I was parodying you.
You talked about unspecified things fundamentally and secretly sucking... so I said that you might be fundamentally and secretly trolling... who knows if any of these claims are true? They're both murky, vague, and somewhat paranoid.
The more straightforward argument you're producing now seems interesting, and I agree to some extent. I'll happily admit that Haskell—just like every single language—has historical warts and problems. Some of them are being addressed by the community, with some of them the community is stuck in arguing, etc.
C++ has always been firmly committed to backwards compatibility, which is one reason it is such a successful industrial language. Haskell has some of that too, and incompatible changes made to the core language are rare and always met with suspicion.
However, I don't think the Haskell community is especially dogmatic about the perfection of their own language. If anything, people are constantly discussing ways to make it better.
