Yeah, that might be our reality.

But mathematics, in principle, is abstract and has nothing to do with our reality. Mathematics exists within its own universe (a universe created by a mathematician with its own language, logic and rules aka axioms, all chosen by the mathematician). Our limited human minds can wrap around this simplistic universe and thus gain some kind of intellectual satisfaction from understanding it, and in seeing some kind of aesthetic beauty in it. Of course non-mathematicians don't see this beauty and don't feel this satisfaction, and only see the drudgery of thinking hard and manipulating symbols on paper, so they aren't attracted to mathematics.

Of course, we can unabstract it with respect our own universe so as to apply it to our own universe. This is because it was abstraction arising out of phenomena in this universe in the first place that we transplanted into our artificial universe as mathematics, though not all of it. The rest of mathematics arose from playing with and abstracting from pre-existing mathematics within the artificial universe.
