The "needs of product" should include "long term maintenance cost".
They should and I'm not saying to write it in a new language just because it meets the needs a little better. But in a world where the primary motivation for most things is profit, do you think "developer/maintenance costs" are having a little too much weight in the decisions.

It's easy be prescient when you make self-fulfilling prophecies.
Only choose technologies that are popular for production stacks -> more people using those technologies professionally(implying less using others) -> only choose popular technologies -> etc.
