There are plenty of other compelling reasons to prefer Swift over Python such as its type system or its easy, somewhat native, integration with existing Swift, Objective-C, and C frameworks available for macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS.
Speed isn't the only driver, and I'm sure not it's not "the [only] point".
