That's true of all languages, though.

A truly good idea will generally find a way to succeed despite the technology it is built on, though. Look at Facebook, Slack, and countless others running PHP or Minecraft running Java and its apparently horrible code base (I've never seen it, so that is secondhand)

A number of things actually follow more logically than tech doesn't matter which is counter intuitive and counter to most other endeavors in life.

- We aren't very good at judging the relative virtues of tech

- Most tech is good enough to express most concepts even if not equally well. If its possible to express it even if it takes 3 times as much work and is only 70% as good you wont notice from the outside how much the tech mattered.

- Good ideas are worth enough money to throw enough time/money at them to be moderately successful
