Yep cost is the reason, allegedly the ts team found go a better language for a port and both using a less ergonomic language and switching target every six months have associated costs

And that's a fine argument to make! But this stupid garden analogy is nonsense.

  • no, it is the same idea, even if the excavator was magically free there are associated costs like keeping an industrial machine in your garden, danger or heavy machinery and possibly it is going to destroy you garden.

    the analogy is not between each specific consequence/cost, it is relative to "single axis optimization" not being a solid strategy
