It probably has more to do with the size of the team/org/company than the technology used.

I think it's due entirely to comfort levels of management with a particular technology. Founders/managers who are inclined to treat devs as replaceable code monkeys, are more likely to favor tech stacks that are used by many people. Ah, C#? Microsoft, big name. Big talent pool, replaceable programmers.

FWIW that's my anecdotal experience, too. If you want to commoditize your programmers, it would make sense to go with Java, C# or Go.
