>Python is indeed good for small throwaway scripts

I think you just answered your own question.

Ghidra is an already existing piece of software; the Python script was written for the specific purpose. The title isn't about comparing the relative importance of programming languages to getting the answer, but about explaining the tools used and the effort involved in using them.

Maybe the author is more comfortable with Python than the alternatives.

By this logic anything meaningful anyone does is actually done with C, because no matter what you do there is 40 million lines of kernel code underneath...

"What is the importance of Django, it's only 10 thousand lines of Python, powered by millions of lines of interpreter written in C..."

What is the importance of needing to frame Python as tiny here? The reminder that programming languages are acceptable for small throwaway scripts is appreciated

python is great for a lot more than small throwaway scripts.
