Yeah, I don’t care about the materials my coffee maker use, but I hope the company that makes them does care.

But the article doesn’t really have a point, or at least I can’t see it. It starts like the choice of tech is not something that matters to users implying they’re all the same, then finishes with:

your job is to pick the ones that fit your use case—not because they’re trendy, but because they’re the right tool for the job.

I think the author just wanted to point out that defending a programming language for all purposes is not very smart (and it’s not something a senior engineer would do anyway), but it ended up a bit confusing.
