This is a non-sequitur? Python is also not a "standalone language" and requires "some runtime".

Sure but that runtime is much more general purpose - JS runtimes are focused on network apps. For example you can write an app like Calibre in Python and QT and it is much lighter than writing something with JS and Electron.

Python is easier to interface with C/C++ libs.
