I would imagine nearly every programmer who has ever used a DAW has thought “this would be cool to have its own scripting language.”

They already had Python. Mentioning an architecturally obvious idea in a job application is likely to read as insulting, because it presumes their engineers weren’t already aware of that possibility.

I'd love to read those cover letters then.

Then I can make a meaningful comparison.

That's a bit much no, why would it be insulting? "Great minds think alike" would be my reaction, instead of "Ew, duh, of course we thought of that, you think we stupid?".
