I’ve been scripting in Python since 2003. Node wasn’t mature/viable at the time. Edit: didn’t exist at the time! Python is my go-to because I know the ecosystem well and can go from zero to done with minimal effort and research. Node has since (come into existence) and matured, and while it may be better/faster in some situations now, I haven’t encountered a project that has compelled me to switch. I suspect the answer to your question boils down to a combination of: familiarity, preference, individual productivity, and pragmatism. This will likely shift over time.
