I think the issue isn't "brute force power" (which python doesn't really have compared to CL if you look at the language itself), but rather the quality and completeness of numerical routines and GPU support. Matlab was very popular for early ML because it had the former.

Python is doing the actual lifting with C or Fortran, so I'd say brute force still applies quite a bit.
