I feel this is a bit nihilistic. Python is used in so many different areas, in some very critical roles. Even a small speedup is going to be a significant improvement in metrics like energy use. The pragmatic reality is that very few people are going to rewrite their Python code that works but is slow into a compiled language when speed of execution is trumped by ease of development and ecosystem.
