People like to do what they are good at. Math is frustrating because it constantly introduces things you are bad at until you can convince yourself of the concepts. It incessantly exercises the brain in the methods of deep understanding by pushing the limits of what an analogy is. Where does the Laplace transform take you? How do you picture the world of ideal probability?

Math makes enemies because it is difficult. Math makes enemies because it is so successful. For every high school student exclaiming 'when will I ever use this stupid math?!' there are dozens of scientists, businessmen and engineers who apply it daily. Social progress is made at the heels of scientific progress. Scientific progress is cumulative by definition. Today we still wage war over nothing. Math embodies the truest form of applicable logic. Math transcends time.
