Your statements are flawed. Yes we program on some platforms in certain languages because we are forced to do so (due to the inability of certain languages to operate within those bounds). However, if we restrict capable languages from platforms in which they would thrive, we are effectively blocking progress.
There was a time that assembler was the best language. If we restricted platforms to only asm, C would never exist. Where do you think computing would be today if Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson had shared your views and refused to challenge the de-facto standard of a platform?
