>Is the implication here that people build on top of ecosystems because they're incapable of implementing things themselves in plain JS, and that lisp will make them capable?
Not exactly, but Lisp (specifically Common Lisp but also other lisps) will make far easier to implement whatever is missing thanks to the various features that enable very quick development, quicker than JS or Python. And interfacing with C code is also easy too. Interfacing with Java libs, even easier (using Armed Bear Common Lisp.)
