Well to some extent these companies are self sabotaging by centering interviews around algorithm problems, not only by selecting a certain kind if talent for further investment of resources, but also by signaling to the market the kinds of training needed to land a good job.
If instead, the talent pool were incentivized to increase their ability to understand abstractions, and we selected for that kind of talent, it might not be so hard to use new languages.
