How about Big Tech and The Cloud? Certainly didn't hurt that the tech giants embraced and helped extend Python. Python's Guido van Rossum has been an employee of both Google and Microsoft (with a stint at Dropbox in between). Visionary Python Foundation sponsors include Google and Meta, while Microsoft and NVIDIA are Sustainability Sponsors, and AWS and Salesforce are Maintaining Sponsors. The Chan-Zuckerberg Foundations is also a big funder and user of the Python ecosystem. For Cloud companies and their big customers, Python's price ($0) is certainly more attractive than commercial software if you need to run software on a sky's-the-limit number of processors.
