I agree. Context matters and what can be hard for small devs and startups to understand is that enterprise has different goals, resources and constraints.

You'll see people promoting Laravel as faster and cheaper than say C#. For places that value faster and cheaper that's good.

Enterprise isn't cash constrained. Cheaper is not a goal. (Saving "thousands " isn't helpful when the bottom lines are in millions or billions.)

Enterprise isn't time constrained. (Sure they always make like it is, but in reality if this thing doesn't ship tomorrow it's no biggie.

Enterprise is all about risk management. You don't get fired for "buying IBM". Enterprise wants a steady pool of developers. They want to call the local (or more likely foreign) body shop and add 10 people.

Faster in what way? Cheaper in what way?
