I think the grandparent poster was just pointing out that this post has very little to do with python or matplotlib, with the code to generate the plots just thrown in as an afterthought at the end. Which makes it weird to have them in the title. (Whether python is a good tool or not is unrelated to this observation.)

I would expect a post entitled “exploring mathematics with python” to have a whole lot more python code (inline with the text and better explained instead of an uncommented blob at the end) and a whole lot more mathematics.

A more accurately descriptive title for this post might be “counting the repetitions among randomly chosen positive integers”.... which of course isn’t going to get as many clicks or as many reflexive upvotes from non-readers as a post promising “exploring mathematics with python” because it doesn’t sound (and frankly isn’t) all that interesting to most readers. (It might make a decent short project for middle school students though.)

Personally I flagged the post for its misleading title.

What I got out of the post was that exploratory and experimental mathematics is fun and worthwhile and if you haven't tried it, you should, and by the way, this experiment uses Python and matplotlib (which some readers may already know). I think you missed the point of the article.

Every in the title is a major part of the article. The author used Python's matplotlib to investigate mathematics, and share both the math and the Python code.

It's not the author's fault if you bring your own baggage to the words.
