For me it's more a matter of cognitive simplicity.

I can use a POSIX environment anywhere. It's one less hurdle if that's the tool I'm using.

I've learned (and forgotten) numerous proprietary system languages. I prefer sticking with stuff that will be around. POSIX/Unix/Linux have demonstrated staying power.
