The language in question here is maintained by a BDFL, which means that one person has outsized influence on the language, and it's direction.
In this context, I find it reasonable that if someone is ticked off by that BDFL, they might second guess the direction of the language itself. Since the opinions and emotions of that BDFL _will_ end up in the language and it's community.
This is different than some un-associated influencer having an opinion, and using that to choose a language.
