If you're doing any serious amount of work in any situation then I agree with you, but sometimes the best tool for the job is the one that gets the job done.

CircuitPython is special-built for this exact task -- to make microcontroller work more approachable and accessible for beginners and/or projects with a small scope.

Anecdote: I used it a few weeks ago for a project that was small and had a tight timeline. As a beginner to electrical engineering with microcontrollers it was nice to not have to struggle through language syntax as well. This solved my use case perfectly.
