Just with the python/ruby comparison
I kinda feel like the reason for that is more due to the fact that if python users want change in their language, they really need to either construct their own pre-parser and deal with a lot of potential issues, or post a change, hope it becomes a PEP, and hope it gets accepted. There is very little ways other than that
In ruby, you are enabled to fix so much more of the language to your own liking, so there is much less of a need for the main language to change.
I'm not saying that ruby isn't underfunded, just that it doesn't need to grow as fast as python does

To further underscore your point, take a look at how much of Rails code is devoted to making Ruby more usable/consistent and has a only tangential relationship to web development.
