This has nothing to do with whether engineering is a "cost center" or not. It's about fundamentally what is important about the practice of engineering. Whether to use Python or Go or Java or Rust or whatever is rarely anything other than bike shedding. In those cases where it's not, the key problems are rarely which language is technically better: more often the problems are associated with labor supply and how well the proposed language' ecosystem plays with existing implementations'.
