TBH, I would also expect this tool to be a lot more affordable than a senior developer for language X.
Plus, chances are good that your senior developer for language X will barely scrape by as an extremely junior developer for language Y that you also use in some capacity, and that there is a problem which involves stuff written in both X and Y. Also, many languages have horrid gotchas, where innocuous looking code does something quite unexpected. Like the C++ classic log->debug("Timeout: %d", config["timeout"]). If some tool where to actually tell you "Writes a debug log with the current value of timeout, if it exists, or otherwise sets it to 0", well that would be pretty useful for someone who has only superficial knowledge of C++.
