Why is this necessary? I thought we've moved past language-specific IDEs.

We have? JetBrains never has stopped offering them.

Who wouldn't want an experience tailored to their main language? I certainly favor PyCharm over Ultimate

JetBrains is not representative of every editor / dev. Language servers mean I can use Emacs / Vim / VSCode / whatever else I want and have IDE features for whatever language I want.

Just as JetBrains is not representative of every dev, neither are LSPs. Some developers want a specialized IDE for their language(s), some want a highly customized editor with their language servers. As long as you efficiently produce code that works, who cares what other people use?
