Can you elaborate why that's a factor? The tools are just binaries in how they're used, the language they're written in is no longer a factor then.
It's a good argument if you're talking about transferable skills though, I can imagine some contributors work on both TS and Biome, for example. This is why a lot of JS tools were initially written in JS, too.

They are today, but the potential would be to expose something like the TypeScript compiler as a library. That is possible today with a lot of the JS tooling.
