I think another reason why Emacs is in a second golden age is due to all of the new plugins that have come out in the past 3-5 years and how those plugins have affected Emacs.
For example, Eglot and use-package being part of Emacs core.
Additionally, there's also just many new plugins for the base-level things. I never thought there would be alternatives to completion frameworks like Helm or Ivy, until new ones came out. It's all been very exciting.
