The entire ML/AI ecosystem is in Python for the most part these days, so if anyone wants to get involved it means needing to touch Python to some degree. So, many developers might get handed projects that require working in Python, but would really prefer not to give up all the nice things that come from a modern statically typed language. Personally, I'm one of those people that got converted over to statically typed languages, as I spent a large part of my early career in startups using Ruby. I don't think I could ever go back after using Go, TypeScript, and Rust over the past decade or so.
