My point is that, even if that is true, there are many other factors that go into technical decisions than pure technical merits. These decisions happen in the context of a business, with existing systems, codebases, teams of people with different experiences and preferences, unique market dynamics, etc. To say "you used the wrong tool for the job" without considering the conditions under which that tool was chosen isn't a productive assertion.
