Python versioning and package management is a mess cross-platform, kinda makes it unattractive for that sorta thing. C# is a decent option for Windows, but dotnet is also a mess on Linux and Mac. Bash "just works" for the majority of UNIX-like systems. Even if you don't have bash installed, there's a good chance you've got a simple interpreter that can run a script file like zsh or sh. There are reasons one might use Python, but I always reach for bash when I'm doing sysadmin or text processing work.
