So if you can find developers then it makes sense to better software in a more powerful language? That seems like not really a problem with either of those two

  "more powerful language" Heh. My pickup truck has more torque than my Ferrari, but my ferrari goes to 60 much quicker. "Power" requires context, especially when it comes to programming languages.

    There are languages that objectively make it easier to manage complicated things. They enforce strong guards against user errors and they are easy to refactor even in a large codebase it means you can do more things with a smaller team. Whether you can find people to work on hard problems easily seems completely orthogonal to the language used in the same way that its also very hard to find top Java/C++ etc developers capable of handling non trivial work but we don't throw our hands up and say "Welp we'll just have to write it in python then because this problem is too hard".
