The part you left out is where you inevitably leave the company and now there is this bespoke snowflake which nobody knows about doing god knows what transpiling stuff under the hood. With the average tenure of a software engineer being a few years maintainability and standardization are important above all. This is one of the reasons why opinionated and simple languages like golang have gained large popularity.

I do agree that genuine software excellence and craft is rare in corporate settings. If you want to make a piece of excellent software like curl or sqlite you will be doing it on your own, and you most likely will not be making a living off of it either.
