When should you consider a potential acquisition in tech decisions?

In the early stages, the consensus in advice seems to be:

- Building an MVP: Use whatever is quickest.

- After you've got product market fit: Use whatever the team knows best/is best for the medium to long term.

But at what point do you start to consider potential acquisitions? Not necessarily a single company, but should you avoid using an (relatively) obscure language that would be slightly quicker in favour of a tried and trusted language that you know a lot of the big companies that may one day buy you use?

There has to be a point when this comes in to consideration, when would it be for you?

And how big an influence should it have?
