Perhaps sometimes. But properly handling errors around process management in python is not simple either, even with libraries like subprocess. My experience is that when python scripts doing a lot of process management fail they fail in far more complex and hard to diagnose ways than shell scripts do (especially bash scripts with `set -e -o pipefail`). And like, `subprocess.run()` defaults its check argument (that will make it throw an exception on non-zero exit code) to false, which means that to get that same kind of behaviour as `set -e` in python means making sure you always pass check=False to every invocation, afaik. Sometimes added complexity can introduce classes of errors.
