Think most companies resist using lower level languages due to their ultimate purpose being to build products that provide value and sell them. They are generally far less concerned with the technical details and conciseness of the implementations. "Good enough" is a very squishy term but for most companies, for better or for worse, that bar is pretty low. There are plenty of industries that focus on lower level langs and use them pretty well but it's not the norm for big corporations who value rapid turn around over all other factors.
