Even if I followed the advice in the article (I don't really plan to), python3 is very likely to already be there in a Linux distro for other reasons, whereas node.js is very likely to not be there.

If you're on another OS where neither make nor python3 nor node.js are there by default, then sure you're already going to manually install make, so the choice of python3 or node.js is basically identical.
