I think they're saying that the switch was justified because the workforce is no longer familiar with Ada.

More importantly the workforce is familiar with C/C++, how it’s listed on so many job listings. Which is kind of sad as a requirement. A programmer who can’t become productive with Ada after a few weeks (productive, not masterful) is not the kind of programmer anyone should be hiring for any job. The syntax is (almost) dead simple, for a reason.
