I personally i am in the other camp and think they got the language change absolutley wrong. I already have php installed on my server why do i need to install TypeScript? The easiest website to run is in php. All other languages add a barrier.
I agree with your sentiment. Meet the customer where they are at, right?
Years ago, I would have said small bussinesses are on cPanel, FTP-ing files to the server. Asking them to run NodeJS is crazy. But here we are, the hosting landscape is vastly different, is it still so crazy to ask a small business owner to put there code on GH, connect GH to a hosting platform and push?

Anyway, I doubt you will see people dropping off WP and migrating sites to EmDash. What's more likely will be that it is considered as an alternatave for new projects.
