I was wondering the same as the parent, and in my case it's library support (e.g. NumPy) and compatibility/familiarity in the space (VFX) where Python is everywhere and Lua is unheard of.

If you want NumPy support in particular you basically have to use CPython. The only other implementation that really supports it is PyPy which is not in any sense more lightweight.

  Although much smaller in scope than NumPy, MicroPython (and CircuitPython) now have the ulab library which provides similar fast array manipulations: https://github.com/v923z/micropython-ulab https://github.com/v923z/micropython-ulab

So, use Python instead of MicroPython.
