I think your post illustrates well why both languages are important to have. I also work in the Business Intelligence - space, but my job is usually more focussed on setting up data pipelines and developing a small specialized web app here and there. So if I'm already doing that, and I do analysis on top of that, of course I'm going to pick Python, because I can stay in the same ecosystem and I already have a better feeling for how things are going to work. But this wouldn't make sense at all for someone who generally works more on strategy and decision making and wants to dig a little deeper from time to time.

Although when people ask me for a recommendation on what to learn, and they're actually interested in programming and building things themselves, I always recommend them to at least give Python a shot and see if they like it, as it then also gives them the possibility to do a lot of other things with the language.
