I think because it's forgiving and the first language for many people, so they just stick to easy they know.

It's my 18th language and I prefer it over the alternatives. If I need to write an app I'll use Swift. If I need to do some web work I'll switch to TypeScript. To get work done it's Python all the way.

Agree. At some point grasping a new language takes hours and it makes sense to use it for tasks it excels at.
