This was my first thought, but then I realised newbies would have started with Rust. :) In the first few months of a big build a huge amount of time and effort goes into the foundation: design, POCs, setting up environments, CI, testing infrastructure… My guess is that they weren’t very deep in production code, and the fact that they didn’t fall for the sunk cost fallacy speaks highly for them.
