Sorry to have to ask, but why choose to work at a place that doesn't use tools that you like, or does not give you the autonomy to use your best skills?

Because life is about tradeoffs. Optimising for criterion A mean sacrificing the opportunity to optimise for criterion B. And there are far more important criteria than programming languages for which to optimise choice of employer.

I chose to work in jobs that allow me to be close to family and friends.

I will never relocate just to change programming language.
