I fundamentally disagree with the assertion that Python operates at the expense of society.

Google is an exploitative monopoly. There’s been plenty of ink spilled on the subject to the point that I feel no obligation to repeat it.

While it’s true that GVR is currently employed by Microsoft, the ecosystem of Python is far more anarchic and decentralized.

I think he was probably making a comment about Python in regards to PyTorch and AI's energy usage.

i.e. Whether a language exists "at the expense of society" probably depends less on who makes the language, and more on what you do with it.
