They evidently evaluated Node.js in comparison to Bun (and Deno) earlier this year and came to a technical decision about which one worked best for their product.

I highly doubt that the JS ecosystem is driven mostly by hype so I highly doubt the nodejs solution even put on a table in an internal issue tracker.

Claude Code shipped on top of Node.js for the first four months of its existence.

Why wouldn't they consider their options for bundling that version into a single binary using Node.js tooling before adopting Bun?
