There is a reason: tools that exist today are awful and unusable if you ever wrote anything other than python.

: I'm saying it because the only way I can see someone not realizing it is that they have never seen anything better.

Okay, maybe C and C++ have even worse tooling in some areas, but python is still the top language of having the worst tooling.
