While I generally agree with you on principle, I also feel you need to be pragmatic too. It’s important to also use the right tool for the job as long as you have sufficient engineers who can support that alternative language/framework/platform. Sometimes a language can also be favored at one point, but lose favor later, and in some cases it doesn’t make sense priority wise to rewrite it because it still works.
