The premise of your question is wrong. I would still write Python for most of my tasks even if I were just as fast at writing C or ASM.

Because the conciseness and readability of the code that I use is way more important than execution speed 99% of the time.

I assume that people who use AI tools still want to be able to make manual changes. There are hardly any all or nothing paradigms in the tech world, why do you assume that AI is different?

The promise of the original definition of vibe coding was you treating code as disposable, no more valuable than LLVM build cache.

You aren't supposed to make corrections, review it, or whatever.
