Yes. In what bizarro world would one assume it's not so? By thinking that all development in the world resembles the company/work they do?
Tons of programmers only write C# or Java on Windows, and don't touch any shell scripting at all.
Tons of front-end developers only write Javascript.
Tons of statistics people only use R or 1-2 other statistics packages.
Tons of systems, drivers, embedded and OS people only C or C++.
Tons of game devs only write C++.
Tons of native mobile devs only write Swift, Objective-C or Java.
Some of them do occasional need to write some script to get something done, but it's hardly like the juggle between multiple languages.
And of course larger companies have specialized programmers for different domains, not some guy doing C++ AND admin stuff in shell AND some front-end JS etc.
