Same reasons that C/C++/Java/Javascript beat all the better languages. Pop culture.

  C and c++ were close to the only language available some 10-30 years ago. There is still lot of legacy to work on. Java is superior to everything else. Go and C# only came in much later. Javascript is the only language supported by browsers. It's not pop culture, there are real historical and practical reasons for them to be where they are.

  It's not that clear cut because finding developers with experience and getting tooling for the non mainstream languages is harder.
