Okay? Neovim and Lite XL ship with full Lua implementations. VSCode ships with a full JS implementation.
Being scriptable is not unique to Emacs. Though I do think the combination of
- big ecosystem (missing for Lite)
- scripting freedom (missing for VSC, iirc its plugin APIs are kinda limiting)
- GUI (neovim)
is pretty much unique.
A lot of other editors are also extensible, either via scripting or dynamically linking native code.
The only reason Org is unique to Emacs is that it's "too large to clone", i.e. it'd be a lot of work. I think a lot of editors could provide the same features with a plugin, given sufficient effort.
