I don't think this is an valid comparison. There's a problem called technology sprawl, which is characterized by needlessly increasing maintenance needs and cognitive load and lower development speeds caused by the need to juggle multiple programming languages or frameworks. There is a fixed cost in maintaining each tech stack and even development environment, and you multiply that cost each time you think it's a good idea to introduce yet another programming language or framework.
