So why Prolog in particular and not another logic language like Mercury or Oz/Mozart etc?

"Prolog" is like Lisp, a wide array of superficially similar languages that actually are quite diverse.

Mind you, in that sense, Java and C# are more or less the same language, which has Prolog programmers nodding their heads and Java and C# developers screaming.

It's not meant to be taken literally, it refers to any language of logic programming”. Apologies to Monty Python.

Probably because neither of them have much in the way or library or community support.
