why Why are highly cambered airfoils are rarely used in propellers or wings?

Highly cambered airfoils like the seligsSeligs and epplersEpplers are hardly ever used in propeller or wing sections. Why Why? Does

Does their performance reduce at high Re? Ere Are they only adequate at low Mach, low Re?

The question only regards the aerodynamics. Ignore fuel storage and structural elements.
