Good ole' inveteracy. Unfortunately, it's really as good a reason as any when it comes to managing resources on a long-term project (people, time, $).
Always needs to be balanced against using the right tool for the job, even if that means the initial pain of carrying a codebase written in a "relatively" newer language. To be clear, both Python and JS (NodeJS) are great tools with excellent communities and ecosystems.
