Sure, people with ZERO enterprise experience might say - hey, let's write our <main software> in PHP - I had a lot of fun 15 years ago with that, and I'm sure we can make it work.. That's the "3 toothpicks" in your example.

But is anyone REASONABLY competent going to do that? They might pick C/C++, Go, Rust, Java, etc. Those aren't a choice between "bulldozers and toothpicks" - they are more akin to choosing between Caterpillar, Volvo or Hitachi as the vendor of choice for construction equipment. They may have some gaps in their specific list of equipment, they may charge too much for one specific tool, your workers may have experience with one, not the other, etc..

Your example should be the textbook definition of a strawman argument..
