> Python, JS, C, Bash aren't even particularly great at the problems they solve

I would argue the "problem" that Python really solves is the amount of engineering effort required to read and write code for common software use cases. Ie, it's purpose is to help developers write better code faster and easier than other languages, while execution speed has usually had a lower priority. In that framing, it's great at solving the problem of development time and old code being hard to maintain, and that's why so many engineers like myself love it.
