Due the concept of Turing completeness I’d argue it’s more of deciding which paint brand to use, or if you must, I suppose you could liken it to the distinction between choosing oils or acrylics.
It’s frustration at having to learn more than one programming language.
At this time, due to the social integration of technology the number of people who interact with development has far out paced the number of people who enjoy development.

If you hate writing code but do it for your job, then you are going to really hate writing code in two different languages with their own syntax and paradigms.
Also, nearly all programming language projects want to be the “everything language” so essentially any language is a fine choice and what it really comes down to is the people who enjoy the work develop “tastes” and “preferences” that they treat as dogma when defending their language of choice.

I did. So I’m sure many others too. They just likely met the same opposition that I did.
Without defensive strategies today that allow those at risk to continue their risky behavior unencumbered then any warnings of tomorrow get drowned out by the demands of today.
