Yes because the causation goes the other way.

The kind of org that cares about how it writes software will choose the right tool for the job, which may be Lisp. However they may be able to achieve their aims in Java. Whatever they choose it would have been carefully considered.

The kind of org that doesn't care how it writes software is unlikely to choose an outlier language and will use C#, PHP, Java etc. because it is easier to hire devs and you won't get fired for choosing it.
