Just saw the edit. I have 2 answers:

1) Fuzzing is under-utilized even for simple code. AFL is dead easy to use and, even so, most projects don't have it in CI runs. So, despite how much I like it, in general it seems people do not see value in this type of testing.

2) The effort to handle external state (say a restful call to get stock ticker info) needs to be mocked -- which is deeply unpopular -- or handled by record/replay which works ok-ish but eventually breaks down with divergences. Outside of well-chosen domains it these eventually pop-up and add an additional pain point that builds on item 1.
