That's obviously pretty specific to iOS - or MacOS - where there's a single blessed path. Elsewhere, especially in web dev, unless you really don't care about what you get or are making something very simple, you better be ready to provide specifics.

Even still, the majority of things being built on the web perform largely the same if it's being built in Ruby or Rust or Node or Go. Only very niche things, that an LLM would probably fumble over anyway, really benefit from picking the perfect language/framework. The only real advantage to naming your language in the initial prompt is that you can be assured that you'll be able to understand the code when the GPU spins down and output is in front of you.
